History and Women

History, Mithology, Literature, all the pictures and stories and time: women as witches and monsters, women as prizes and slaves, women as frozen bodies. A woman burning on a stick, queens about to lose their heads. Where are the artists? Where are the bodies who  would break out of the story and rescue the others? Where are the daughters with the fire in them?
