The hat! The pants! The coat! The pose!

fantastic! I love looking at old photographs of women, looking into their faces, analyzing their expressions and trying to imagine what was her life like? what was going through her head at that moment? what were her hopes and fears? a view into the lives of women who were more routinely ignored in contemporary accounts of day to day life and cultural history is a wonderful 'value added' here. and the hats are pretty damn awesome!!!

This is really great. I love the woman in red in her living room with the hanging ashtray.

Here's an interview with the curator where she talks about her motivations for starting the project and her experience with it so far.
