The views expressed in this work are solely those of the artist, and do not reflect the views of Hudson County Community College, the Hudson County Community College Foundation, anyone working at this college, or any local, state or government organization.
The main image in this work is a reclining, nude woman. “Piece of Ass,” is a slang term usually applied to women who are sexually objectified. Other quotations and images in the work refer to the unequal treatment of women in American society. A critical educational question suggested by this work is: How can we improve the situation of women so that they are fairly treated?
