Betty Jean

One week ago yesterday my grandmother, Betty Jean Cooper, passed away. Drew and I worked together to come up with a photographic collage of sorts that would pay tribute to the amazing woman that she was, a feminist way ahead of her time.

The collage mainly paid homage to her adventures in her first 10 years of marriage to my grandfather, before they had a family. Included were the following photographs of her on her very own Harley (with three other female friends) and riding with my grandfather on his bike. They traveled literally all over North America, just because they wanted to. The war was over; they were enjoying life together. Also in the collage were her leather helmet, Harley Davidson riding belt, and goggles. A truly amazing woman, for more reasons than these.
