Mary Was Here
"To be unseen is not to be unimportant."
No record found.
She left no photo, no census entry, no gravestone.
"She walked this path at dawn, through alleys no map would mark."
“She washed, she fed, she mended — but no document bore her name.”
"There was no record, no photo, no stone. But this was her street."
"Mary was here. You just never looked hard enough."
❓ What does it mean to be remembered?
• Who decides whose story matters?
• Can someone shape the world and still be forgotten?
• What lives have we erased without noticing?
"Data feminism begins by shifting the focus from what is there, to what is missing." — D’Ignazio and Klein (2020)
