HYPATIA WOMAN
OF THE MONTH
May 2024 - Charlie Lewin
Congratulations to our Woman of Month for May, Charlie Lewin - environmental textile artist. Themes of social and environmental issues continue to direct her work, particularly the way the feminine is treated.
In March she helped to curate the wonderful “Women’s Work” at the Museum of Cornish Life in Helston. It showcased collaborative work and art by celebrated women from Cornwall, alongside two weeks of workshops, talks and making.... highlighting textiles and essential women’s work.
We are delighted that, during June, Charlie will be displaying some of her exhibits from Women’s Work at our Women in Word bookshop.
Which women inspire you and why?
"I am inspired by passionate, articulate politicians. Leaders like Caroline Lucas, Mhairi Black, Jane Goodall. If we would only listen to them, if they weren't criticised for what they wear.
We do not stop to listen to powerful women speakers as a as a society. In particular, women politicians that have heart at the centre of their work.”
