ARTIST STATEMENT

For this project, I was fortunate to find a book devoted to suffragist sheet music with songs that date back to as early as 1875. Actual book pages make up the background of my quilt. The lyrics were an eye opener for me. When I first got involved with this project, I thought the suffragist movement was strictly about the right to vote. Their efforts to succeed set the stage for grassroots efforts to come, proving that determined citizens can achieve change.
