HERstory Quilts: A celebration of strong women

11/20/2019

 
LOCATION: Housed and exhibited by Susanne Miller Jones through 2020, Virginia
FOCUS: Celebrating the groundbreaking accomplishments of women since 1920, the year we got the right to vote in the USA.
SIZE: 107 quilts, 24" x 30"
PRIVATE/PUBLIC: Public (when exhibited)
DESCRIPTION: This exhibit, by 84 artists from seven countries, includes tributes to renowned women, as well as those who worked behind the scenes. These quilts celebrate strong women who cracked glass ceilings and those who made discoveries. Women who shook the world by breaking into fields previously reserved for men are commemorated, as are those who were the first to do something before any man. These art quilts honor athletes, authors, artists, aviators and astronauts, business leaders, educators, entertainers, mathematicians, scientists, writers, and world leaders.
