Learning from your Mother and your Mothers' Mother-War Bride

Woman's Work is unglamorous and quickly becomes part of a woman's' every-day life within couples. 

 'War Bride' challenges this accepted norm of society. Not all women can be stitched  into place but need choice and creativity within their lives.

A Woman in sand wedged into place by society and by the learning from each generation, Mother to Daughter.  Women can have fixed perimeters and be 'sewed into place' only allowing for 'Woman's Work' within the confines society allows depicted by  time in history.
