Day 92/100 #100daysofcreativewomen

Flannery O’Connor

“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.” Mary Flannery O'Connor was an American writer and essayist. Peacocks frequently popped up in her stories. She wrote two novels and thirty-two short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. She was a Southern writer who often wrote in a Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters. Her writing also reflected her Roman Catholic faith and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics. (wiki)

“There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.”

"To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness." "Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days."

Day 89/100 one of my favorites. #100daysofcreativewomen  The spunky Ruth Gordon 1896 –1985 “Get up early in the morning before everybody has breathed up all the good air.” Ruth Gordon, was an American film, stage, and television actress, as well as a screenwriter and playwright.

Day 82/100 Maud Wagner - first known female Tattoo Artist. I'm not done with her but have to get back on the road!!! #100daysofcreativewomen Maud Wagner born 1877 – death 1961 First known female Tattoo Artist!

Wagner was an aerialist and contortionist, working in numerous traveling circuses. She met Gus Wagner—a tattoo artist who described himself as "the most artistically marked up man in America" while traveling with circuses and sideshows—at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (World's Fair) in 1904, where she was working as an aerialist. She exchanged a romantic date with him for a lesson in tattooing, and several years later they were married. Together they had a daughter, Lotteva, who started tattooing at the age of nine and went on to become a tattoo artist herself. As an apprentice of her husband, Wagner learned how to give traditional "hand-poked" tattoos—despite the invention of the tattoo machine—and became a tattooist herself. Together, the Wagners were two of the last tattoo artists to work by hand, without the aid of modern tattoo machines. Maud Wagner was the United States' first known female tattoo artist. After leaving the circus, Maud and Gus Wagner traveled around the United States, working both as tattoo artists and "tattooed attractions" in vaudeville houses, county fairs and amusement arcades. They are credited with bringing tattoo artistry inland, away from the coastal cities and towns where the practice had started. (Wiki) (at Best Western Butterfield Inn)

I am participating in #the100dayproject with the intention of creating a portrait of “one creative woman” every day for the next 100 days.  These may be any sort of creative woman who has either inspired me personally or inspired others globally.  My tag is: #100daysofcreativewomen_dotsofpaint  I have already created a list of at least 50 but welcome any suggestions!  These may be artists-illustrators-painters, writers-poets-songwriters, singers, musicians, actors, feminists, activists, etc. More than likely woman who’ve inspired me with something they’ve had to say (or write) because I intend to add a quote of theirs as well. Wish me luck and, if you wish, follow along! 😊 Day 1/100 Short on time I did myself! Lol. My face. My poetry.
