The hands raised, forming a triangle. A gesture that unites the hands and touches the two thumbs and index fingers together to symbolize the female sex. This gesture started spontaneously at a convention held at the Maison de la Mutualité, in París, in 1971, where Simone de Beauvoir and other left-wing and feminist figures spoke. It was a Roman woman, Giovana Pala, who impulsively used this gesture for the first time as a feminist symbol or message, versus the closed fist that some men across the stage were making, and from there it extended much further than that fist. Since then it has become a symbol, a gesture associated with women’s and girl’s fight for equality, opposing patriarchalism and feminine subordination, opposing the lack of expression, the exploitation, the discrimination, the domination and the violence that many women are subjected to by men and by a society that is still far too sexist. A gesture that is a visual representation of an injustice, a defiance and a subversion. A clear and revolutionary gesture. An essential gesture.
