It was recently ‘International Day of the Girl” for UNICEF
and other organizations. Being a father to a little girl, I cannot stress
enough the surprise and frustration I feel when I see how we treat girls and
women in our “modern” societies, and I am sickened by how they are treated in
much of the rest of the world.
To celebrate the wonderful young ladies in this world, albeit belatedly, here are five images from the history of art I find
particularly striking and powerful.
