GPOYToo Beautiful To Be Loved
June 9th, 2013
When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. “This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar,” she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. “My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.”
It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions? How often had I sped past them as I learned of male achievement and men’s place in the history books? Then I read Rosalind Miles’s book “The Women’s History of the World” (recently republished as “Who Cooked the Last Supper?”) and I knew I needed to look again. History is full of fabulous females who have been systematically ignored, forgotten or simply written out of the records. They’re not all saints, they’re not all geniuses, but they do deserve remembering.

Redecorated my bookworm with my current favorites. Also made photos of all my other bookshelves: posted in my journal (with notes!).

Anatomical book for experimental drawing class today <3 I was thinking that if books have spines, do they have ribs and eyes too? It’s a few collaged images, which I laid under the sliced-out pages, then drew around the edges in colour pencil. Behind the ribcage is actually a big meaty human heart ~
