Three Waves of Feminism

Published:

Description

This was a project for my Intro to Jewelry and Metals class. We had to do a pin/brooch and solder it. The materials are copper, nickel and brass. I chose to go the extra mile and do three.

My idea was to represent the three waves of feminism using words, issues and clothing from the time represented. They are in order. The first wave is the ovaries wearing a corset. This was chosen to represent the reproductive rights and suffrage women fought for in 1890-1920's. The second wave shows a dress from the 1960's, along with the tagline "The Personal is Political," which was the slogan of this wave. Also, "gender equality" and "$he" was added to show the objectification of women and their fight in the workforce. $he is in reference to Robert Hamilton pieces. The final wave is a tight fitting dress of the 1990's-present. Many women from the second wave criticize women of today for their revealing fashion. Listed are some of the issues women are dealing with today.

I will upload a better picture in the future. Pieces are not as shiny as they appear.

Lovely pieces; I especially love the corset-womb. Though I would argue that many of the issues on the 3rd-wave brooch affected women in the past too.
