WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS FACED VULNERABILITY. IT KNOWS NO RACE, CULTURE, AGE OR RELIGION. IT KNOWS NO GEOGRAPHY, GOVERNMENT OR HISTORY. IT KNOWS NO TIME OF DAY OR SEASON. IT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED BY LAWS OR AWARENESS. I WAS KEENLY AWARE OF THIS AS I WATCHED MY SINGLE MOTHER NAVIGATE THROUGH THE WORLD. I THINK OF HER WHEN I SEE WOMEN ALONE , DAY OR NIGHT...WAITING ON BUS BENCHES, WALKING HOME, SIMPLY GOING THROUGH THE WORLD. I LOOKED AT THIS SERIES OF IMAGES FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW., AND FROM AN IMPLIED TIME AND PLACE.
