Women's Equality,
1975
Printed at Styria Studio, Inc.
Marisol’s print Women’s Equality is a double portrait of the suffragists and abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, highlighting their fight for women’s rights and racial equality. Organizers of the 1848 Seneca Falls convention for women’s rights, the two women are shown in static poses and rendered in bright colors, with intertwined hands appearing below. Around them other half-formed hands and fingers caress their outlines and enliven the image, perhaps referencing the labor and activism of countless others and the difficult work of coalition building needed to bring about significant political change.
