The Sisters, 1928

At risk of sounding like an alarmist, I'm worrying more and more that when Western countries begin to experience the drop in birth rates currently being experienced in East Asian countries like South Korea and Japan, we're going to see a huge decrease in women's fertility rights. It already seems to be happening, slowly, at governmental levels (the overturning of Roe v Wade being the big indicator), but I feel like anti birth control rhetoric is creeping into our pop cultures, turning young women away from the best methods of controlling our fertility. The rise in 'homesteading' influencers, 'natural cycle tracking', and anti-pill advocates leaching from right-wing circles into the mainstream is incredibly worrying. I only fear that most young women won't realise until it's too late, and we have no way of controlling our own fertility, and choosing if and when we have children.

Marie Danforth Page (American, 1869-1940): The Girls (via Vose Galleries)

From the gallery website:

By 1915, Marie Danforth Page began to focus on portraying the intimate relationship between mother and child, a development perhaps brought on by a reduced number of commissions during World War I, but also likely a product of her wish to become a mother herself. In 1919, at the age of fifty, she and her husband adopted two young girls, Susan and Margaret, who quickly became two of her favorite muses. One of the most impressive portrayals of her daughters is The Girls, which Page exhibited at several venues during the early 1920s, including the National Academy of Design’s Winter Exhibition of 1923 where she was awarded the Isidor Medal for achievement in figure painting.
