Lindsay Keating-Moore's Feminist Montage Dress
P UTTING TOGETHER LAST week’s musing on the Brontë sisters, I stumbled upon the work of Minneapolis artist Lindsay Keating-Moore, who hand-cuts stencil portraits of famous feminists and uses the stencils to decorate recycled T-shirts and dresses, even buttons. The portraits are strong and gorgeous, the clothing fantastic, and the footprint enviable: about as green as you can get. Have a look, in a slideshow:
We’ve included some of Lindsay’s fab femmes here, but be sure to visit both her Etsy store and her blog. We’re impressed with her artistry and her advocacy, and think you will be, too. Now, we just have to decide: the Brontë T, the feminist montage dress, or the Simone de Beauvoir top? Maybe all three. Sometimes wearing your heart on your sleeve is the best path, sisters.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.

Emma Goldman! These are awesome
I need to be more careful to look over the whole post before commenting. Frida Kahlo and bell hooks too! Once I was in Puerto Rico and convinced my family to visit a Frida Kahlo museum. Too bad it’s not closer to home, because I highly recommend it. And bell hooks is one of my favorite authors, but I’m ashamed to say I’ve only read two of her books.
E–I know, I know. Not only is the concept brilliant and the work really well done, but the selections of women is both wide and deep…we could do a whole post (or seven) on the feminist history Lindsay is offering up via her most excellent tees. Glad you liked ‘em!
