New York:: Evelyn Eller,, 2018.. One-of-a-Kind. 9 x 6 x 1.5" hinged enameled wooden box with one opening. Mixed media collage with handmade and acid free papers, xerox. Signed by the artist. Kate O'Brien, Odyssey, Jul 13, 2015: "We need to work to remove the stigma from the word 'feminism' because it's about equality and not about man-hating … I propose we all pause and think about what the word feminism really means. To me, feminism means empowerment. It means I can speak my mind and stand up for what I believe in. It means I have the strength to accomplish anything I set my mind to. I can talk too much, laugh too loudly, love way too hard and too much, and unapologetically be me. I want everyone to one day feel comfortable and empowered enough to say the same.

New York:: Evelyn Eller,, 2017.. One-of-a-Kind. 6 x 9 x 2" hinged wooden box with metal fastener. Xerox and hand painted paper. Signed and dated by the artist. Evelyn Eller: "Women throughout the world are responding to the 'Me Too' movement that has surfaced during the last few years. My book 'Don't Shut Up' acknowledges their voices, Women have been silenced for too long, by violence, censure and interruption. They are now speaking out by protesting, marching and taking part in public offices."  US maps are tipped into the interiors of "Don't Shut Up". Pictures of women across the country are tipped across the maps - fists raised, voices speaking out, women joining forces. In the bottom of the box are strips of text on black paper strips. "Speak Out", "Keep Talking", "Stand Together", "The Choice is Ours" are just a few of the sentiments expressed.

New York:: Evelyn Eller,, 2006.. One-of-a-Kind. 6 x 7 x 1"; 8 unnumbered leaves on handmade paper loosely laid into black plastic box lined with patterned paper. The leaves contain paper collages with snippets of text and image. Paper title on lid tipped onto matching patterned paper. With a single photocopied image on most pages along with multiple definitions seemingly cut from dictionaries the collages set forth the possible base roles of a woman's life - girl, daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, widow - along with the trappings of those roles as captured by language - girlish, fertile, womb, fertile, sisterly, womanly, widely. Transitions suggests that what begins simply as girl/girlish becomes more and more complex through the transitions of a woman's life.
