This print was made to illustrate the article "Traveling the World—While Looking Over Her Shoulder," about the threats women face during solo adventures. Here, Little Red Riding Hood is re-imagined as a grown woman, venturing out into the woods, with the wolf in pursuit. She looks over her shoulder not in fear, but in annoyance, because a woman should not have to fear for her life when she is out on her own. This is a multi-layer print made with both stencil and carved blocks.
