Man Makes the Beads of Life but Woman Must Thread Them 

Frances Macdonald's "Man Makes the Beads of Life but Woman Must Thread Them" is a symbolic artwork that showcases a central female figure in a contemplative pose. She holds a large, red sphere and is adorned with multiple strings of beads, representing the complexities of life. This artwork explores the role of women in society and their vital contributions to the world. The fragmented and abstract background, reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, adds to the mysterious and symbolic nature of the artwork, leaving the viewer to ponder its deeper meaning.
