PRESS AND NEWS
I am honored that Emily L. Newman used some images from Standing Together to help illustrate how women used and still continue to use visual means, explored via their clothing, to help change the world.
Through meticulous examinations – Fashioning Politics and Protests: New Visual Cultures of Feminism in the United States – analyzes how women update their identities and articulate their feelings through clothing and art in protests, politics in the United States in the 20th century. The book is part of the Palgrave Studies in Fashion and the Body Series.
Emily L. Newman is Associate Professor Art History at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Her research concerns intersections of modern and contemporary art history, popular culture, fashion. and the female body.

Thank you to Meredith Mendelsohn and The New York Times for getting Inez Milholland and her fellow suffragists battle for the right to vote written back into history by featuring “Standing Together: Photographs of Inez Milholland’s Final Campaign for Woman’s Suffrage, 2016 - 2020.”
Finding inspiration in the power of women to influence public perception and the perseverance to continue the arduous fight to obtain equal rights beyond ratification, Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek have invited 105 women artists across the United States to join in a photographic collaboration, A Yellow Rose Project.
Images from Standing Together will be included in this virtual group exhibition, exhibition catalog, and traveling exhibition.
