“Taking Up Space”
by Kierra Ready
About the Series
Taking Up Space was created to illustrate the impact of intersecting roles of women and what it has done to modern femininity and womanhood; and how we’re socialized to only celebrate and respect women's efforts when they are validated by masculine measures of success.
Taking Up Space pushes to redefine modern femininity by challenging women to honour and express the innate characteristics of womanhood.
Taking Up Space Focus Group
In order to gain accurate feedback and perspective on modern womanhood, a focus group was held in partnership with Boss Babe Network.
10 Indianapolis-based women, aged 20-50 , discussed and answered questions surrounding womanhood. Their feedback was used to identify issues women face and to provide context on the status and identity of modern women.
