The Sweethearts of Rhythm
"The Sweethearts of Rhythm gave me a chance to bring something new to my work. We were dealing with an aspect of American history that is somewhat abstract—music, and what music did for this country."
Again, She Lit Another
"There is something special about knowing that your stories can alter the way people see the world and their place within it."
The Old African
"I've found it interesting to trace how the chapters of my life have knitted themselves into my art."
Women and Madness
"This stirring image of a woman literally becoming undone appeared on the jacket of a provocative feminist work by Phyllis Chesler. It was also published in advertisements for the book in 'The New York Times' and other publications."
