"First of Many" is painted in the embellished pouring style. The background and flag are done with acrylic paints that are poured and shaped. The portraiture and starts of the flag are painted with traditional oils. What Does the 19th Amendment Mean to You?” My idea depicts elements of voting-rights, aligning picturesque connections to modern equality. While celebrating the anthem "You shape history every time you vote" I wanted this piece to bridge history to present challenges. Women suffrage has moved from the history of voting, to equality in the workplace as equal pay. The woman's suffrage history paved the way to get to where we are at today. What will be the next "FIRST"?Middle - First women in Congress. Before the 19th amendment, Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916 remarking: "I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won't be the last". Top Left - Shirley Chisholm became the first African-American congresswoman. Born in Brooklyn, she served seven terms and became known as "Fighting Shirley" because of her reputation as a champion of racial and gender equality. Top Right - Sally Ride The first U.S. female astronaut to make a spaceflight, she was only the third woman worldwide to reach Earth orbit's (first two were Soviet cosmonauts, V. Tereshkova and S. Savitskaya) Bottom Left - Mildred Helen McAfee became the Navy's first female line officer on 3 August 1942. Commissioned a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve, she simultaneously undertook the demanding task of Director of the Navy's newly-established Women's Reserve. In November 1943, following the passage of new legislation by the Congress, she was promoted to the rank of Captain. Bottom Right -Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 to April 30, 1926) was an American aviator and the first black woman to earn a pilot's license. Ultimately, the Woman's suffrage movement succeeded in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, However by 1896, women had gained the right to vote in four states (Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah).
