Like my mother before me was of her mother, I am so proud to be the daughter of Marianne Lieberman.  She is an amazing artist whose work needs to find the audience and recognition it deserves. Marianne is a strong, brilliant scholar, a deep thinker, a loving and supportive mother, and an ethical decision maker of top order. Her life was thwarted into a sruggle for survival at a young age and she brings that resilience into her life and art to this day.  She is an inspiration to me on so many levels and I hope you will read her book and buy her art so that it lives on in this world.  While I am undoubtedly biased, many others have found that you do not need to be related to her to see the power in her work and words; and to learn from her about the importance of living one's truth. The world today is a stark reminder that we can never stop standing up for our rights as women, and for the freedom to practice the religion of one's choice and/or heritage, or to not practice any religion. Freedom to be in charge of our own bodies/minds/spirits within our homes and in the world is of utmost importance. If my mom ever tires of carrying the torch, and needs to pass it along, I am in lockstep with her, handoutstretched, ready to take it.
