Can I use the words that I submitted to this project for my own purposes independent of this project? Yes. The right to use the words belongs to each individual contributor/originator of said words. The entire work may not be reproduced without permission unless the work is the creation of the contributor, in which case the right to reproduce that individual piece lies with the contributor in instances outside of the scope of this project.
Why are there only first names on the photoems? Last names are not being included in this project on the photoems as most last names are patriarchal and the feminists in this project are standing on their own with just their first/primary name.
What if I am a journalist and I want to contact one of the contributors? What if what they had to say moved me and I want to let them know? How can I contact them? Each piece in this collection is numbered and information such as last name, contact information, and professional credits can be referenced via the number on the piece. Information, if approved for release by the project participant, may be acquired either through the directory where the participants who choose to do so may supply this information for networking purposes (forthcoming) or by e-mailing Annette Hyder, project curator:
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
. In some instances, there are individuals who do not wish to divulge their personal information, so please respect that as well.
What about photo credits for the original photos submitted? Original photo credits are listed via the directory. Please contact Annette Hyder, project curator:

for more information.
I was invited to participate in this project and there is someone that I would like to, in turn, invite. Can I do that? Absolutely. This project is expanding to include all feminists - not just feminists personally known to the curator, but also feminists known to the project participants but unknown to the curator, and then to the feminists who are known to the second stage of participants but unknown to the first ... The goal is to eventually envelope a 'six degrees of separation' effect to visually demonstrate how we are all - despite our differences -connected. So if there are feminists that you would like to involve, please know that this is a definite aim of the project! Feel free to refer them to this web site for more information.
I would like to be able to see how the different feminists in this project are connected. Will that actually be possible? A first name protocol along with a numbering protocol (numbered in the order in which they are finished) is being used. When a participant is added that has been directly brought to the project by another participant, the invitee is referenced to their "sponsor" or inviter by reference to the inviter's number in parenthesis. For example: if you are number 250 and your name is Jane, you would be "250. Jane." And if you have a friend named Alice that participates and hers is the 300th photoem completed, her name "Alice" would be on the photoem itself. Also, in the right hand corner, at the bottom, there would be this: 300 (250). Her photoem's title would be "300. Alice." We will really be able to see - because it will be graphed out - how we are all connected.
The feminist that I want to invite is male. Can he participate in this project? Male feminists can take part. Feminists come in "male" too.
I'm really offended by what one of the contributors said in their photoem. Why would you include something that might be offensive to someone? In not censoring what the participants say in these photoems and in not censoring who they view as the feminists in their lives, the integrity of this project and the reality of its representation are ensured.
I would like to mention the project on my blog and/or web site. Is that OK? Absolutely. If you'd like to mention the project, on your blog or website - please feel free to do so!

She sees life as a poem that is constantly altering its form to accommodate one's world view/experiences: sometimes a sonnet, sometimes haiku, sometimes graffiti on a wall. She believes that in love you should not say it with flowers, you should say it with words. Diamonds, however, are always acceptable.
My curse is my gift. My nightmares, deep sensitivity, and emotional instability gives the best (and most uncomfortable) inspirations I could ever have. For me, art is passion - and visions are the mirror, which show my feelings and connect me with the rest of the world. Read More...
