Icons
These portraits are of strong, powerful and self-motivated women, who have reached iconic status for their work and influence, and in themselves are agents of change in society.
Female icons are at the forefront of the women’s rights movement because of all the things that these women have achieved and the circumstances in which they achieved them. Women leaders in all fields, be it political, scientific, business, artistic or humanitarian are under intense and constant scrutiny. The series includes, Supreme Court justice, "Ruth Bader Ginsberg", "Jane", of the enduring women's rights activist Jane Fonda; "Lady Gaga", of the pop culture icon; and "Malala", the inspirational winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. |
