The legacy of suffragist Alice Paul brought to life on the stage in the Tony award-winning production of Suffs, was also the inspiration behind  ACCESS: An Ordinary Notion an exhibition I am honored to be part of at the Arc Gallery in San Francisco California.

Please join me today for an online artists talk  Thursday, June 20th 2024 7-8pm PT when  I will be discussing my collage  “Women’s Lib A Storms Approaching” about coming of age during the second wave of Feminism. Sometimes we need to look back in order to march fearlessly into the future Zoom link

ACCESS: An Ordinary Notion, a national juried exhibition, presents artworks that tell individual stories and advocate for social justice and human rights. Inspired by Alice Paul who introduced the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, The Alice Paul Institute and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House are partnering with NCWCA for this meaningful and timely exhibition.

Hand Cut Collage Sally Edelstein “Women’s Lib A Storms Approaching” 48′ x 84″

Today as women’s access to reproduction rights is rapidly diminishing, the lesson that every new generation has to fight for the same rights to protect these rights has never been clearer.

Progress is possible but not guaranteed.

It is no wonder that artists are currently exploring these issues because the fight is far from over.

The only right guaranteed to women by federal law is the right to vote.

The ERA has yet to be ratified.

Use your voice. In a world of Marjorie Taylor Greens be an Alice Paul.
