This image is super powerful. There is clearly a group of people moving marching for women’s rights, but how the images composition plays into the image is the true power. The women that looks battered in bruised in a wedding dress is the focal point and where the focus is drawn in the image. If we look beyond that over her shoulder there is a sign that says “Mommy will never give up”. This is the perfect representation of what this march is about. No matter how much women are bruised and hurting, they will never give up. This image conveys that like no other because of the composition.
