The Brass Ovaries Story

Brass Ovaries is a result of the combination of a life long attitude and a hunting cap I saw in a grocery store. I took two of my children to the Women’s March in 2017, and it was a powerful experience, including not only shared frustration, but mostly mutual recognition of the determination to stand up for ourselves and others and do something. It demonstrated the existence of a common bond between millions of people the world over, and the symbol was the pussy hat. 

Over a year and a half later, I noticed a man’s camouflage hunting cap, and the fact that, at first glance, the hat appeared to have fallopian tubes on it. Once I got a better look, I realized it was a stylized deer skull. But the thought of the similarity stuck with me, until I wanted the hat I initially thought I had seen, and Brass Ovaries was born. I had been thinking of writing something for quite a while, tentatively titled “What Do I Tell My Daughter?” I wanted to talk about my concerns, and now I had my unifying theme. 

I haven’t seen a pussy hat outside of a Women’s March since January 2017, but I think Brass Ovaries has much the same meaning; the symbol doesn’t even need explanation. Women see it and say “I get it”. Women live Brass Ovaries every day. The symbol, for me, is an identifier of our common sympathy and goals. I hope that it will help us identify one another the way the pussy hats did at the March, to help us remember we are not alone, to recognize that we stand united, and that we are not going away.
