at first this seemed like a really strange task to me; picking out quotes from something we'd already written ourselves? I'll be honest, I didn't really see the point.
Alas, from doing it, it has helped me with the first steps towards my visual journal, and coming up with an idea for a visual outcome.
I picked out quotes that I thought would be useful in creating some visual responses, and quotes I thought best represented my overall theme.
The key ones for me were:
- "women were merely seen as people who tend to their husbands, and almost as if they are nothing more than a cooking or cleaning appliance"
- "in order to gain social acceptability, women are under constant pressure to correct their bodies and appearance"
- "during the mid 20th century it was very common to see advertisements that show a male ownership over women"
