I was born in the 1900s

In the beginning of the 1900s, women were not considered persons in North America. It wasn’t until 1922 in the US and 1929 in Canada that women were considered legal persons giving us access to participate fully in the social, political, and economic lives of our communities.

So I asked myself, what if women had been considered persons from the outset? What if we had told the truth and acknowledged women’s historical contributions?

These questions became the roots of the Garden of Even.

To explore these questions I had to go back, way back, and examine the origin stories we tell about women.
