The paintings below all symbolize the perception of women as either insane, deranged, or demonic. The witches representing the Journal and Projects pages are both a misrepresentation of female identity, demonizing either women working together or independently seemingly as plotting to destroy society. The painting in the middle depicts a woman driven to insanity. It is up to you to determine the cause: was it a woman with her humors unbalanced, the product of misogyny, or something far more sinister?
*disclaimer* I own none of the rights to these images and the above interpretation is simply that: an interpretation. I am sure many disagree with me on this idea, but I wanted to have my voice be heard despite others' dissent.
