Suffragettes Dancing with the Dawn is a collection of paintings, drawings, video and archival photos honoring the suffragettes of the past to energize the suffragettes of the 21st Century. Getting the right to vote was just the beginning of creating a place where everyone can be valued equally. The suffragettes of the 21st Century dance toward such a place. The focus of the collection are large scale paintings showing suffragettes of all races and in different forms in white dresses rejoicing at a dawn moment when Mercury, Venus, the moon and the sun are visible in the dawn sky—a rare moment in time just as women getting the vote was a rare moment in history. Each artwork shows a Suffragette holding the sun, Mercury or Venus since each one is a symbol in suffragette history and they are symbols for our current historical moment of continuing to seek equal rights, equal pay and equal representation for women and all people. The main inspiration for this collection came to me after looking through pictures of my mother, artist Elizabeth Galaudet Milewski, which were taken when she attended the Women’s Strike for Equality march in New York City on August 26, 1970, on the 50th anniversary of women’s suffrage. Mom was an advocate for women's rights and her life and actions showed this inspiring me to create the Suffragettes Dancing with the Dawn. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s following quote is ever present in these paintings: "The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls. Every truth we see is ours to give the world, not to keep for ourselves alone, for in so doing we cheat humanity out of their rights and check our own development."
