Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Creating this dress has most importantly led me to think about the life of suffragists in the early 1900s. The whole process has completely changed my perception of how lives are different now from the way they were a century ago. It has genuinely inspired me to be more valiant in my community and make a change in any box where there is room for it."
