The Revolution Is Female:
The Revolution Is Female is a hardcover, 128 page photography book by New York City Photographer Kristen Blush that celebrates Hillary Clinton’s historic candidacy, her supporters, a fierce feminist movement, and more. Through powerful imagery, The Revolution Is Female documents the undeniable influence Secretary Hillary Clinton has on our quest for an inclusive, feminist society, and marks a time in our American history that cannot be left behind.
The Revolution Is Female includes three chapters: I’m With Her, celebrating Hillary Clinton, her campaign, and her supporters, Resist, representing the fierce feminist movement that rose from the ashes of an illegitimate election, and Onward, marking our persistence and progress as resilient women in politics, healthcare, arts, finance, and beyond.
Blush included submissions and quotes from women in the movement, as well as an oil painting by artist, TL Duryea, from her daily political portrait project. The Revolution Is Female allowed Blush to travel by art car from Bisbee, Arizona, to Sonora, Mexico, where she photographed the children living near the border at Studio Mariposa, a grassroots art and music space created by artist, Gretchen Baer. She visited Washington, D.C. and Albany, New York, to photograph March For Our Lives and Planned Parenthood Day of Action, and was invited by Rebecca Brubaker to photograph her exclusive interview with Hillary Clinton for her documentary film, To All The Little Girls.
