DAY 24

Home Garden

“Those who know me and know my work will recognize the theme of the garden as a metaphor for paradise [home]. I remember eating strawberries, gooseberries, currants, plums, peaches, apples, and hazelnuts directly from the bush as a kid playing in our home garden. This page is part of an ongoing project on the history of feminism—notice the woman busy working the earth. It also makes me want to start a victory garden and eat freshly harvested collard greens!”—Kati
