Rocky McGee Exposition
I would consider McGee to be a feminist many of her artworks included and portrayed women and things they face in life. Motherhood, women (self-love), protest, freedom, family, matriarchy, and bondage are feminist themes that are illustrated in her works. The most powerful painting was "Me and My Satchel" it proves that you don't have wear a tie around your neck, which symbolizes manhood, to be respected as a hard worker. McGee used ties on the satchel to show that if a tie earns a man respect then she can wear a tie and still be feminine at the same time. I learned from the paintings that art can deliver much more than words. McGee's artworks told a story about many social movements.
