Description Agatha Tiegel Hanson, first female valedictorian at Gallaudet University, delivered her landmark speech The Intellect of Woman in 1893. In her speech she examines the role of women and argues that societys expectations of women are actually what limits her, not her natural intelligence.More than a hundred years later, we still face vestiges of the insurmountable barriers Agatha argued against. In this Art Deco-inspired artwork, two hands are held up in the ASL word for sledgehammer. A crumbling stone wall in the background absorbs the impact of the hands. Agathas urging echoes in the written ASL at top right, translating to This day women have many barriers. We must come together in support and tear them down!
