Demand Change - Photo Book
Demand Change: Where Pink P#### hats meet Suffragettes
This started as a photo book about protest with one quote from a suffragette and ended as a tribute to the struggle of women over the past 100 years. I stumbled upon the writing of Alice Duer Miller while researching poetry of the suffragette movement. I was immediately struck by her wit. I started finding multiple passages from “Are Women People” that I thought my images complemented so I re-formatted the whole book so that I could include a passage from Ms. Miller’s book that paired with an image. The new format lent itself to a magazine that I self-published. I hope you enjoy it.
I dedicate the magazine to all the strong women in my life.

The Protected Sex
There, little girl, don't read,
You're fond of your books, I know,
But Brother might mope
If he had no hope
Of getting ahead of you.
It's dull for a boy who cannot lead.
There, little girl, don't read.
Militants
Hippolta, Penthesilea,
Maria Teresa and Joan,
Agustina and Boadicea
And some militant girls of our own -
It would take a brave man and a dull one
To say to these ladies: "Of course
We adore you while meek,
Timid, clinging and weak,
The Universal Answer
Oh, there you go again,
Invading man's domain!
It's Nature's laws, you know, you are defying.
Don't fancy that you can
Be really like a man,
So what's the use of all this fuss and trying?
It seems to me so clear,
That women's highest sphere
Is being loving wives and patient mothers.
Oh, can't you be content
To be as you were meant?
