Mujeres inquietantes en busca de inspiración

Sin un orden aparente, estas mujeres representan diferentes momentos de la historia, todas ellas comparten el gusto por la revolución, por revelarse ante la quietud de un modelo de mujer que se enfrasca en supuestos impuestos por la sociedad pero y sobretodo por otras mujeres, lo femenino y sus implicancias negativas como sinónimo de lo que una mujer debería ser.



Chrissie Hynde

Is an American rock musician, best known as the leader of the rock/new wave band The Pretenders. She is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, and has been the only constant member of the band throughout its history.

"I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met. For me, knowing that Brian Jones was out there, and later that Iggy Pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. I had, uh, bigger things in mind."



Alicia Moreau de Justo

(Londres, Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, 11 de octubre de 1885 – Buenos Aires, Argentina, 12 de mayo de 1986) fue una médica y política argentina, figura destacada del feminismo y del socialismo.1 Desde los primeros años del siglo XX se involucró en los reclamos por mayores derechos para las mujeres.

Se dedicó a organizar conferencias en la Sociedad Luz, fundó el Ateneo Popular junto con su padre y fue secretaria de redacción en el periódico Humanidad Nueva. En 1914, se recibió como médica y, unos años después, se adhirió al Partido Socialista y contrajo matrimonio con el político Juan B. Justo.



Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun

(Marie Élisabeth Louise; 16 April 1755 – 30 March 1842) was a French painter, and is recognized as the most famous female painter of the 18th century. Her style is generally considered Rococo and shows interest in the subject of neoclassical painting. Vigée Le Brun cannot be considered a pure Neoclassist, however, in that she creates mostly portraits in Neoclassical dress rather than the History painting. In her choice of color and style while serving as the portrait painter to Marie Antoinette, Vigée Le Brun is purely Rococo.

Virginia Woolf

Adeline Virginia Woolf (pronounced /ˈwʊlf/; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

"...La época victoriana- leyó en voz alta, la señora Elmhurst. Seguramente daba tiempo de dar un paseo por los jardines e incluso para echar un vistazo por la casa. De todos modos, tenían cierta sensación, ¿cómo expresarlo?, de no estar del todo aquí mi allá. como si la representación teatral hubiera tenido la virtud de separa la copa del tallo que la sostiene; como si aquello a lo que llamo mi yo flotara todavía suelto y no se asentara. no se sentían totalmente ellos mismos."

In 2003 she became the third woman (and the first American woman) to be nominated for an Academy Award for Directing, for Lost in Translation.

Frida Kahlo

Was a Mexican painter, born in Coyoacán, and perhaps best known for her self-portraits. Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Kahlo had allegedly wanted the year of her birth to coincide with the year of the beginning of the Mexican revolution so that her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as Naïve art or folk art. Her work has also been described as "surrealist", and during 1938 one surrealist described Kahlo as a "ribbon around a bomb"

Karen O was born in November 1978 in South Korea to a Korean mother and a Polish father. She eventually moved to the United States, where she grew up in Englewood, New Jersey. She has commented on her childhood:

"It's almost embarrassing how well-behaved I was, which is probably why I do things like spit water on myself onstage as an adult."

She attended Oberlin College, but transferred to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She is now based in Los Angeles.
