Goddess Movement
The Goddess movement includes spiritual beliefs or practices (chiefly Modern Paganism, Neopagan) which emerged predominantly in North America, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand in the 1970s. The movement grew as a reaction to perceptions of predominant organized religion as patriarchy, male-dominated, and makes use of goddess worship and can include a focus on women, or on one or more understandings of gender or femininity. The Goddess movement is a widespread, non-centralized trend in Neopaganism, and therefore has no centralized tenets of belief. Practices vary widely, from the name and number of goddesses worshipped to the specific rituals and rites used to do so. Some, such as Dianic Wicca, exclusively worship female deities, while others do not. Belief systems range from monotheism, monotheistic to polytheism to pantheism, pantheistic, encompassing a range of theological variety similar to that in the broader neopagan community. Common pluralistic belief means that a ...

Feminist Art
Feminist art is a category of art associated with the late 1960s and 1970s feminist movement. Feminist art highlights the societal and political differences women experience within their lives. The hopeful gain from this form of art is to bring a positive and understanding change to the world, in hope to lead to equality or liberation. Media used range from traditional art forms such as painting to more unorthodox methods such as performance art, conceptual art, body art, craftivism, video, film, and fiber art. Feminist art has served as an innovative driving force towards expanding the definition of art through the incorporation of new media and a new perspective. History Historically speaking, women artists, when they existed, have largely faded into obscurity: there is no female Michelangelo or Da Vinci equivalent. In ''Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists'' Linda Nochlin wrote, "The fault lies not in our stars, our hormones, our menstrual cycles, or our empty int ...

Darkroom
A darkroom is used to process photographic film, to make prints and to carry out other associated tasks. It is a room that can be made completely dark to allow the processing of the light-sensitive photographic materials, including film and photographic paper. Various equipment is used in the darkroom, including an enlarger, baths containing chemicals, and running water. Darkrooms have been used since the inception of photography in the early 19th century. Darkrooms have many various manifestations, from the elaborate space used by Ansel Adams to a retooled ambulance wagon used by Timothy H. O'Sullivan. From the initial development of the film to the creation of prints, the darkroom process allows complete control over the medium. Due to the popularity of color photography and complexity of processing color film (''see C-41 process'') and printing color photographs and also to the rise, first of instant photography technology and later digital photography, darkrooms are dec ...

Oregon Women's Land Trust
Founded in 1975 Oregon Women's Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) membership organization that holds land for conservation and educational purposes in the U.S. state of Oregon. The trust owns 147 acres of land in Douglas County, referred to as OWL Farm, and the mission states that the Trust "is committed to ecologically sound preservation of land, and provides access to land and land wisdom for women." History In the mid-1970s there was great interest among women in the lesbian feminist movement in having access to rural land in order to be able to live outside of mainstream patriarchal culture, which was ridden with violence against women, gay people, and the environment. The feminist spirituality movement was also emerging and grounded in reverence for the natural world. For example the magazine ''WomanSpirit'' was founded and produced nearby by Jean and Ruth Mountaingrove and had worldwide distribution. Some groups of women traveling or temporarily settled in Oregon, California, and ...
