Women Power
Corinne Beque
Geneva, Switzerland
I believe in the power of words. From books to names on a voting ballot to UN resolutions, words can, words should, help women take charge of their own lives. And thereby create a better future for all.
I have used blue, the color of the UN, for my quilt and embroidered words all over it. It is a patchwork of scraps recycled from the used clothing or sewing boxes of the women of my life: daughters, sister, mother, grandmother and friends and is a tribute to how women can always make something out of nothing.
The quote about women is by the French poet Louis Aragon. (“Woman is the future of man.”)
