By Herself, Glen Echo Ravine depicts a woman in the woods, standing strong, armed with a large rock in hand, looking over her shoulder to confront the viewer. Here, the artist goes one step further. The figure not only confronts the viewer, she is prepared and unafraid to defend herself and her right to be there.
