Goddesses of Modernity
Note Cards & Giclée Prints
In spite of the restrictions of Victorian culture, Emily Carr followed her own vision to connect with Indigenous peoples and the land, and to paint the wilderness and First Nations culture during a time of massive change and colonization. Although representative of the Settler Society with her privilege and Eurocentric worldview, Emily Carr's interactions with First Nations displayed respect and deference. Do we discount these bold paintings and inventive depictions of the B.C. landscape as cultural appropriation, or consider them as valuable references to the era?

An inspiration to women everywhere, Frida Kahlo is universally revered for her magnificent and disturbing self-portraits and her vibrant images of Mexican history and culture.

Pauline Johnson's natural dignity, mystic spirit and body of poetic work speaks to us over time and space. As a popular performer and literary figure that morphed into a Canadian icon, her life was lived as a bridge between native and non-native cultures at a time when genocide and forced assimilation were attempting to render the Mohawk Six Nations people invisible.

Honored today as the "Mother" of the American civil rights movement, Rosa Parks is a living example of the woman warrior archetype. At the time of her refusal to give up her seat on the bus, the dominant culture expected African Americans to obey signs that said "Whites Only" and to know their place as inferiors. Her arrest was the "tipping point" for black freedom fighters and their allies, and continues to inform the ongoing struggle for human rights, justice and equality in the Americas today.

With the publication of Silent Spring in 1962, the global north began to pay more attention to nature, and the modern environmental movement was born. Carson inspired us to love the earth, and to become aware that nature was being destroyed by the unmonitored use of pesticides. She had the courage to speak up in spite of tyranny from the chemical industry, and as an eco-warrior, her work changed the consciousness of western society.

Georgia O'Keefe is considered to be the mother of the feminist art movement. Her painting style using organic forms and floral imagery was pivotal in the development of an authentic female iconography, and gave artists permission to birth their own feminine visions. Her passion and strong will led to a successful career in a male-dominated profession, and today the Georgia O'Keefe Museum is the first American museum dedicated to a single female artist.
