Thread: Norah McGuinness (1901-88) was an important Irish artist who is best remembered for her stylish angular landscapes of Ireland & images of birds. Im sharing this brief biography of her for #internationalwomensday2021 The Startled Bird (1961). 
Born in Derry, she studied at Dublin Met School of Art under Harry Clarke, amongst others. Clarke got her a job illustrating Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey (1926). She also spent time at Chelsea Poly before returning to Dublin as a designer.
Here’s an overview of my artwork. I believe that art should be accessible so have set up an Affordable Art Project. There’s a presentation drawing here for you.
Thread: Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-c1656) is one of the most famous artists. The Italian painter’s biography & Baroque images of women & violence are arresting & powerful. Her life & art are fascinating. I’m sharing my overview of her for #internationalwomensday2021
Artemisia was born in Rome & her father was the great painter Orazio. He originally hailed from Tuscany & was a disciple of Caravaggio’s. Artemisia would also have the same style, having been taught by her father. Madonna (1609)
I love Artemisia’s work for her commitment to authentic emotion. That urge to truth is part of my own work. Take a look!

Hello everyone,
Here to remind you about educating girls! Educating young women is the climate fix no one is talking about.
Educating young women across the world could stop tens of billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere

What springs to mind when someone says ‘climate change solution’? Probably wind or solar farms, maybe meatless burgers or ‘moonshot’ technologies. These are all important if we are going to urgently cut our carbon emissions in line with the science!

In fact, there are a wide range of climate solutions with huge potential. We have been talking more about restoring nature, but what about educating girls? Universal education can start improving people’s lives right away, as well as stabilising our climate.

Rosie Newbigging, from the #YarlsWood campaign, says #NoToHassockfield because: "The plan for IRC Hassockfield must be defeated. People fleeing war, persecution and torture need kindness and compassion, not banished to remote prison like accommodation" #IWD2021 #ChoosetoChallenge
Frances Densmore (1867-1957) was an American ethnologist/ethnomusicologist. Inspired by the work of Alice Fletcher, Densmore devoted her life to documenting the songs & ceremonies of Native Americans, esp. the Dakota #Sioux & Minnesota #Ojibwe. #IWD2021 #NativeAmericans (thread)
After receiving a research grant, Densmore purchased this Columbia #graphophone #waxcylinder recorder and used it throughout years of fieldwork, recording songs and interviews. #fieldrecording #phonography #ethnomusicology #InternationalWomensDay2021
She left behind a meticulously catalogued and invaluable personal archive of some 2,500 cylinder recordings. (Photo: Densmore [in hat] stands before a #tipi, 1900 – other people in photo undocumented). #InternationalWomensDay
1. Stand infront of the mirror examine your breast and checking if there is any change in size, shape , color and position of breast and nipples
2. Raise your arms examining your breast again, slowly turn around to examine the other side
Ahead of #InternationalWomensDay, a thread for women who are fed up of arguing, and men who are feeling defensive:
Women pointing out the discrimination they experience isn’t ‘man-hating.’ I’m 50 years old this year and I’ve met a lot of feminists. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number who hated men. I lost count long ago of the number who are afraid of them. >
The most immediate reason for this is that women live with the threat of violence against them daily. From humiliating catcalling to harassment to abuse, violence and death, the spectrum is long and wide. Look up @CountDeadWomen >
Did you know that the Home Office are turning what was Medomsley Detention Centre into an Immigration Detention Centre?

We’ve had some fantastic help from NGOS, members of the public and more. We agree w/Rosie from the #YarlsWood campaign - people fleeing war, persecution, torture, human trafficking and abject poverty deserve to be treated with humanity and dignity #NoToHassockfield
In the middle of February this year, we welcomed @AlfDubs to speak to us, you can find his article about #AsylumDetention below #NoToHassockfield 👇

On #internationalwomensday2021 I think of the 23 million girls since 1970 who were not born due to sex selective abortion #sexmatters
On #internationalwomensday2021 I think of the 60 million to 100 million women who should be alive today but are missing, presumed dead, because of male violence. #sexmatters
On #internationalwomensday2021 I think of the exhausted women who work two out of three of all labour hours worldwide, but earn just 10 per cent of the world’s income #sexmatters

Several of our churches were also founded by women, such as Mary Barton and Louisa Tooth - grieving the loss of loved ones, Louisa Harris - who wanted a place for an unusual memorial, ...
and Bertha Kessler and Katherine Hudson - WW1 nurses devoted to spiritual and mental healing.
These women have left us with a legacy of four glorious Arts and Crafts places of worship.

The recommended reading list for secondary children is on page 11. It includes a link to gal-dem.com. One of the first videos on the website opens with the actress saying ‘How do you want to fuck tonight, Daddy?’

This is some of the worst material we have ever seen recommended to children (and we’ve seen a lot). Who is paying for this? Where is the accountability? @JackieDP @DavidTCDavies @Baroness_Nichol #edutwitter #WomenEd #SLTchat #RSE #UKedchat #safeguarding
