Women on the Rise


Hello Reader,

Women on the Rise

We first introduced this series in 2023, inspired in part by the powerful Chilean protest song, “Un Violador en Tu Camino,” first performed during the uprising against inequality, the brave outburst of Iranian women protesting the senseless killing of Mahsa Jina Amini, and the painfully long history of women being the bellwether to challenging authoritarians.

The formidable counterweight to authoritarianism around the globe is the rise of brave women who no longer tolerate the usual crap and demand freedom, justice, and life.

Fools bet against these women.

You’re no fool; you know the difference between fact and fiction, justice and injustice, liberty and subjugation.

Add any or all of these 10” x 10” posters of Dalle-2-created badass women to your inspiration wall.
