Acknowledgements To thank the people who have inspired me, and those who have a piece of my heart: The
Goddess Isis, who I have turned to again and again, and whose light has
never dimmed. Dana, a warrior woman who has been both child and mother to me. Bill, for his patience, love and understanding. You are an extraordinary man. Mom & Dad, you may have never been sure of what I was up to, but you loved me anyhow and respected my tenacity, even when it landed me back in the basement. Donna Giachetti, for listening with an open heart and mind. Little sister, I love you. George Rugen, photographer, friend, mentor and more. George kept me going many times, and I am grateful for his friendship. Jim Collier, my first photographer teacher- FIT summer session 1981, who made me reprint each image dozens of times, because he knew I would see the difference. Thanks, Professor. Margaret Bourke White, for the inspiration to follow my dream. Georgia O'Keefe, for the flowers and the desert. Katherine Hepburn, for the courage to let my hair turn grey and to laugh at the loons. Kate Millett, for her support of Womenews, and for sitting for an amateur photographer 2 decades ago. Margaret Sanger, Mary Wollstonecraft, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Emma Goldman, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Elsa Gidlow, and all of the suffragetes who led the way. To all the models, friends, companions and strangers who sat for me, and who understood my passion for making the picture, thank you.
