reflections on the moon landing


A lot has changed in 40 years, since an American put a foot on
the moons face.

Particularly in the lives of women; I forget the dates but it wasn't
much before the moon landing, a matter of a year or so, that a UK
women could not have a bank loan without permission from a
family male -be it father, brother or husband. So she couldn't
have a mortgage. No home for the solo girl.

Of course women still earn less than men and of course the
glass ceiling is as transparent as ever, but hey - at least we can
get into debt.

These reflections led to the joyful woodcut I printed today, as
illustrated. Anyone showing the slightest interest can have one
cheap.
