Last year there was an exhibition about Australia in Leiden. That is where I took this picture of the clothes of Daisy Bates. I was very impressed by what she did for the aborigins.
The exhibition was very interesting!

You've been walking through my gallery now!!! Wonderful! I'm glad you liked this one. Took the picture in a museum. It was an exposition about aboriginal art!
Daisy Bates was a very special woman, and these clothes are the clothes she was wearing all here life!!!

Indeed!!! Thanks, it looked so nice at the exhibition! She was a wonderful woman!!! And in those days!!! I googled her name, and there has been another Daisy Bates!!! In America, and she was doing wonderful things for black people in America! It's the name, I suppose!!!! Such a coincidence!!

That is very strange. Don't suppose it was the same Daisy Bates? What a coincidence if not!

It indeed is strange! No it's not, because the Irish Daisy Bates has never been in the states!!
Did you Google the name? I think its a coincidence!!!!

Thanks so much for your sweet comment!!!
Daisy Bates was born in Ireland (1859). Went to Australia to live there as a journalist. She observed and recorded the lifestyle of the Aborigines (native Australians). She even lived with them. She wrote a book about them. "The Passing of the Aborigines"
Last week I've been to an Exhibition about Australia. And the aborigines were part of it.
Daisy Bates was whearing these clothes (on the picture) from 1905 until she died in 1951!!!!!!!!!!
If you want more information Google Daisy Bates.

Thanks for the info. Now I know why the name sounded familiar.

The same clothes for over 45 years? Could a woman do that?

She loved those clothes, the were very classical. She washed them each day. Indeed, unbelievable!!!
Looking up the information on the internet I found another Daisy Bates too!!! An American lady who helped black people who needed her help!!! So, it's in the name!!!

Irena-N-Photography In reply to webworm [2006-03-03 18:12:05 +0000 UTC]

I guess she wouldn't be able to that today. Most clothes would turn to shreds after few months of every day washing.


Two Daises? Wow, what a coincidence. Now I would have to google the name to see it.


Thanks.

And the clothes still looked so good!!!! Unbelievable!!!
Two Daisy Bates!!!!! Both woman who fought for the rights of other people!!!!
dA is not only Art and taking pictures. Its also contacts all over the world (love it!) and geography.
And now it's even history. For me its about the English language too!!! This way I can practise: two dictionaires next to me to look up the words I don't understand!!!!
Who is talking about housewives being stupid?!
