2018 may have been coined “the year of the woman,” but a year later, feminist energy hasn’t slowed down. In fact, it may have amplified. If you’ve walked in the Women’s March, wore a Time’s Up pin, joined the resistance (or a women’s club like The Wing), you likely identify with this new wave of women’s empowerment.
But while your wardrobe may be filled with “The Future Is Female” T-shirts or “Nevertheless, She Voted” cashmere sweaters, there is one area of your life that likely remains untapped with feminist energy: your home. Artists and makers seem to have caught onto this in recent years, releasing eye-catching and vibrant items for the home infused with body positivity and feminist energy.
