Abstract

In the mid-20th century, a cultural revolution arose, and as a result, an independent and uncertain woman emerged. This new woman could do anything she would like without having to be tied to social or sexual standards that were common in androcentric societies, demonstrating she was neither predisposed nor limited to a specific behavioral pattern; on the contrary, she could have freedom of choice. Nevertheless, there are certain individuals who still associate women solely to activities related to domestic duties. Therefore, the Venezuelan artists Malu Valerio and Mariana Sellanes showcased in their textile work the freedom and power women have achieved. By doing this, women are demonstrating they are individuals who are capable to follow their own emotions and preferences.
