A collection of women who's lives and art has been important for me during the last 45 years.
Thanks Leslie for the idea.

I just love the series “Call the midwife” and most of all the very strong and warmhearted Chummy. She is the midwife every woman dreams of and Miranda Hart is doing such a great job here to fill this character with life.
And great coincidence: Chummy was the name of a former bike of mine. The series starts with Chummy learning how to ride a bike. And while doing it, she bumps into the policeman Noakes, the man she will (sorry spoiler!) marry afterwards…

![Margaret Humphreys
a social worker, author and whistleblower from Nottingham, England. In 1987, she investigated and brought to public attention the British government programme of Home Children. This involved forcibly relocating poor British children to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the former Rhodesia and other parts of the Commonwealth of Nations,[1] often without their parents’ knowledge. Children were often told their parents had died, and parents were told their children had been placed for adoption elsewhere in the UK. According to Humphreys, up to 150,000 children are believed to have been resettled under the scheme,[2] some as young as three,[1] about 7,000 of whom were sent to Australia.[3]

“You can’t try to make things not happen, even if they are unpleasant or life threatening, you can’t control that, but everybody can use art as a way to cope with.”

“My commitment, my work, and my prayer is that we, as a human family, we, the human animal species, will remember and reconnect with the earth–remembering that it is not so much our earth as something we own, but rather us earth as this sacred, living, breathing, deeply interwoven and interconnected family of which we are part.”

I always loved that character of Donna Culver Krebbs.
And also Petrocellis’s wife Maggie.
Susan Howard was great in both roles.

Nancy “Nan” Goldin (born, September 12, 1953, Washington, D.C.) is an American photographer.
“A lot of people seem to think that art or photography is about the way things look, or the surface of things. That’s not what it’s about for me. It’s really about relationships and feelings…it’s really hard for me to do commercial work because people kind of want me to do a Nan Goldin. They don’t understand that it’s not about a style or a look or a setup. It’s about emotional obsession and empathy.”
