Herstory®
We all know that there is a word “History”, many people say that it means “male’s story”. Why is the rich and colourful story happened in the past is called “history” not “herstory”? I change the word into “Herstory”. Because this project is mainly talk about four outstanding female, showing the beauty and energy of women, not only the appearance also the soul.
I researched for more. And I found that Audrey Hepburn was not only beautiful on appearance but on soul. I was also curious about whether there were other outstanding females in the 20th century. Then I found that in this period of time, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Goodall and Jane Birkin were very outstanding in different countries or fields. So I intended to make a work about them to reflect the beauty and energy of female. And I also want to express an idea that we can pay more attention to the beauty of soul, not only the beauty of appearance.
