To celebrate yesterday’s Women’s Day, I’ve chosen 12 images to stand in for the different faces we wear and the different personas we take on – from mystery to self portraits, from strong to silenced, from outer to inner persona.
Women have been associated with the moon for a long, long time….
and the same is true for our association with the tide and flow of the sea…

the next image seemed to encapsulate so many things and concepts that all revolve around us – from time to home to self…
what can I say? It’s a stunning image and reminded me of one of the Russian paintings of Mary – another persona we seem to take on and slip off…
Tears of the Pray by © Mariska
and here’s another icon of the ‘female’ world – Medea a woman used and scorned and out for revenge…
1983 – medea 01 by © moyo
who can forget “Gone With the Wind” – however it takes on a different flavour here of all those things we loose along the way…
a take on the various parts that make up who we are and how so often they make us feel like marionettes or dolls…
Doll Parts by © Glitterfest
and here are the sorrows this and other things cause us…
however, there is always that book to lose ourselves in…
and here we are – shut up and silenced…
Be silent by © Marlies Odehnal
what better place to retreat to than the cocoon that never seems to be far away and it is a great place to re-invent ourselves…

Feel free to add links to more images that show how you feel about being a woman. :-)
