An artist on Twitter has shared a set of illustrations celebrating the sacrifices of mothers and grandmothers who have helped their daughters make progress in life. The artwork, named Women: The Longest Revolution, showcases how mothers and grandmothers made sure their daughters could get a better life despite being denied the same opportunities in their time. The artist, in a tweet thread, mentioned, “By being fiercely resilient women of their times, they harnessed the glory of their era into raising capable young girls and women of today. My series of illustrations depict inter-generational aspirations by Indian mothers and grandmothers for their daughters and granddaughter.”

“My mom who had no formal education, was taught at home as a young girl, married off at age 15 or 16, told me that I wanted my daughter to study so much till she reached the pinnacle of education. And I did. To a certain degree. And married of my own choice, thanks to her!” read another comment.

A third user wrote, “This is so heart-touching personally. Raising my daughter now 5 (a lot of resemblance to the kid in pic), a constant guilt that I could not do much for my Dadi (grandmother). It’s like it is painted with my thoughts. Thank you & All the best to you.”
