Rori!For the 5th day of #100Days100Women I went beck to the anarchist library and drew Lucy Gonzalez Parsons, born enslaved in Texas, her and her husband were writers and activists, and she continued her work long after his execution for the Haymarket Bombing archive.iww.org/history/biog...
I wanted to include women from many different walks of life, so for the original third day of #100Days100Women, I drew the incredible and prolific manga creator, Rumiko Takahashi! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumiko_...
Of course the second woman I drew for #100Days100Women was Emma Goldman! I admire her more than most historical figures, she unapologetically fought for social justice and freedom, attracting the ire of the powerful.

I've been told by a few folks I should post some of my #100Days100Women series here, and I think they're right :)
Let's start with Shirley Chisholm, a NY congresswoman, teacher and activist who ran for president in 1972: www.archives.gov/research/afr...
Rori!Biawacheeitchish, the legendary "Woman Chief" was a warrior & leader who had several wives.
Woman Chief was kind of a big deal, ranking third on the Crow's Council of Chiefs. She lead for possibly 20 years before being assassinated around 1858.
She also had stories written about her by Europeans, but these are mostly-to-wholly sensational fictions and don't reflect her actual life.

So, should I repost some of my past projects here? (Like #100days100women)
It's always weird with a new platform, like, has everyone already seen it? Do people want it here, too?
