41. CONTRARY WIFE: FRANCES KEMBLER BUTLER

THE WOMAN WAS CONSIDERED CONTRARY IF SHE HELD HERSELF TO BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS HER HUSBAND.  IN CONSIDERING HERSELF AN EQUAL MALES AND PROBABLY SOME FEMALES FELT THAT SHE WAS LESS THAN A WOMAN.  BLAH.  WHAT CRAP. 

 

 I CREATED THIS BLOCK FROM MY SCRAPS, USING DIFFERENT COLORS TO DEPICT THE COLORFUL NATURE OF WOMEN WHO REBELLED.  PERFECT SHOW OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OF THOUGHT.  THIS WOMAN AND WOMEN LIKE HER PAVED THE WAY.  WE IN OUR TIME HAVE A FIGHT BUT NOT AS DIFFICULT AS THE WOMEN BEFORE US.

 

SECTIONS OF THIS BLOCK WERE PAPER PIECED AND AS IS MY HABIT, I REMOVED THE PAPER FROM THE SECTIONS AND THEN HAND PIECED THE SECTIONS INTO A BLOCK.
