'The Unresolvable, Self Perpetuating Traps of Myth and Misogyny’

By  Jennifer Allan 2025 - 2026

In the final throws of this species devouring and destroying itself I offer you one of the greatest offences created and maintained by humans - the subjugation, objectification, violent and depraved oppression of women almost as far back as the beginning of recorded history - the stunning ignorance it represents and the stupidity of the means of maintaining and justifying through religion and myth.  I have placed these three strange Graces (arriving already equipped innately with knowledge) who dare not see or hear or speak their experience (but have the power to turn men into stone should they so choose) in a thorn patch and a Botticelli forest.
