修补星条旗，2020,11乘6.5乘1英寸，32页;墨水，水粉和丙烯酸，亚麻线在Kate Fairchild手工纸上

简·欧文的画册修补星条旗去年在一系列历史事件的影响下诞生的。在2020年的大部分时间里，欧文被隔离在缅因州贝尔法斯特的家中，和许多艺术家一样，她选择用手边的材料创作作品。2020年也是美国宪法第19条修正案出台100周年。为了庆祝生日，欧文创作了这本32页的书。

The book’s fibrous, handmade paper, which includes loose threads that evoke the themes of women’s work and mending, has been meticulously inscribed with items including quotes in calligraphy from suffragists and civil rights activists, an intricate map of the United States with the years that territories and states gave women the right to vote, and cross-stitched names of women who fought for the cause.

卫尔斯理特别收藏馆馆长露丝·r·罗杰斯(Ruth R. Rogers)直接从这位艺术家那里得知了这本书。卫尔斯理学院还收藏了另外三件作品。“我总是在寻找与课程相适应的书籍，能对学生有帮助的书籍，并能补充我正在展示的其他课程书籍。”当然，这是关于美国政治史和妇女选举权的，看起来是完美的融合，”罗杰斯说。

罗杰斯计划向学生展示学生欧文的作品副本妇女投票权的历史由伊丽莎白·凯迪·斯坦顿、苏珊·b·安东尼和玛蒂尔达·盖奇编辑，并附上苏珊·b·安东尼为韦尔斯利学院图书馆签名的题词。亚博电竞官网碑文的部分内容是:“希望每个学生都能学习和了解为今天的女性创造更好的世界所做的伟大工作的事实。”

韦尔斯利学院的另一个意外之处是，欧文的书中引用了历史学家苏珊·沃尔夫·韦尔72年的一段话纽约时报“选举权运动不是有限的、离散的东西。这是关于美国社会中女性角色的更广泛故事的一部分。这不是100年前一群穿长裙的女人关心的一个问题。这些都是我们今天仍在为之奋斗的问题。获得投票对之后的一切都是绝对必要的一步。”

Owen’s book echoes Ware’s assertion, incorporating events after the 19th Amendment, including the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, the Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act of 1943, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The book ends with two cross-stitched names: “Ruth,” for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died while Owen was making the book, and “Kamala,” for Kamala Harris, the first female vice president and the first African American and first Asian American vice president. “We have come a long way, and yet, as we can see today, it’s not over yet,” Owen said in an interview with the magazine. “I could [create] book two of what voter suppression is happening right now.” She also notes that she deliberately left a long thread hanging from Harris’s name, implying the history yet to be written. “She’s not finished yet,” Owen says.
