Not too late to mention that we just passed the anniversary of the death of Helen Macfarlane (March 29, 1860). She was first to translate The Communist Manifesto into English in the Socialist newspaper, The Red Republican. #WomensHistoryMonth

Transformers Titans Return Nautica (Chaos on Velocitron set, 2017)
Nautica's Titans Return figure is her only official toy so far, despite being a major character in IDW's MTMTE/Lost Light comics for several years. It’s not bad for a retool, but it doesn't particularly resemble her comic design.

RT by @EUintheUS: Last night we closed #WomensHistoryMonth with @emilyklampkin and her amazing book.
"Duct Tape and White Lies" offers powerful lessons on female empowerment in corporate DC, reinforcing the importance of uplifting and advocating for one another — a critical message these days.

Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Windblade (2014) and Legacy Cyberverse Universe Windblade (2024)
The franchise's 30th anniversary was celebrated with the first official "fan-created" character, whose characteristics were decided by multiple choice voting. Whatever else was decided, the fans overwhelmingly wanted another female character in their collections.

Our final piece is “The Very Eye of Night” (1955)(https://youtu.be/VsLdAmK_8LE?si=4YPguspF3GUvHwxi), which is one of final films that Maya Deren completed in her lifetime. It was made over the course of 3yrs in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor and the Metropolitan Opera Ballet School in NYC

By Rosa Rolanda (1895-1970), Niña de la muñeca, 1943, oil on canvas, 65 x 50 cm, La Colección Andrés Blaisten. #WomensHistoryMonth #womanartist #womenartists #hispanicart #hispanicartist
From the website: “A photograph of Rosa Rolanda captures the artist at work on the oil painting Niña de la muñeca in her home in Tizapán. She sits at her easel surrounded by a large collection of prehispanic sculptures, which she and her husband avidly collected, along with folk art. Rolanda was originally from California, of Scottish and Mexican descent, but as the photo and Niña de la muñeca demonstrate, she ascribed fully to the ideals of lo mexicano in her adopted country. Niña de la muñeca depicts a little girl sitting in an equipal. She wears a light pink dress with a matching bow in her hair, and does not smile, but gazes out solemnly as she tightly clutches a doll dressed as a tehuana. At her feet is another toy—perhaps from Rolanda's own collection—a clay or plaster sculpture of man on horseback, playing a guitar. In this painting, Rolanda closely follows a theme and style developed by Diego Rivera in images such as Modesta (1937, The Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection) in which young, often indigenous children with wide, almond-shaped eyes and thickly rounded bodies –and often holding toys- are celebrated as the purest embodiment of the Mexican nation. While the sincerity of this sentiment should not be contested, such images were highly popular among collectors in the United States. Unlike Rivera, however, Rolanda does not appear to have considered herself a professional artist, once stating, "I paint for pleasure. I don't exhibit in galleries. People who see my paintings in my house and like them buy them directly from me". However, discerning collectors like Stanley Marcus and Fred Davis did acquire her work. Niña de la muñeca also pays tribute to Rolanda's good friend Frida Kahlo, as the girl's tehuana doll bears Kahlo's iconic, thickly joined eyebrows. The humorous "portrait" is especially clever in that Kahlo also had a large collection of dolls, and the painting interestingly prefigures the Kahlo "cult" that has led to the proliferation of her likeness on mugs, shirts, posters, and indeed dolls.
