In light of International Woman’s Day I decided to draw my feminine take on ‘The Thinker’ or ‘Thinking Man’ sculpture created by the famous French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

I drew the woman with military boots and jeans to show her tough, more ‘masculine’ side, but over all appearance is more feminie. As some are more masculine, while others are strongly feminie, and others have both sides.

I often wonder how different our world would be today if women were always empowered-since ancient times. If women played more roles in society other than that of mother or wife or slave or prostitute. If her voice mattered in society, were there have been less wars? Would humanity have been far less destructive and more compassionate and peace loving?
