Jean Ray Laury’s work deals with the changing roles of women in the last half of the 20th century. She recognized the struggles of women balancing identities as mothers, wives, women, and professionals. In 2000, Laury created Female Troubles based on historic advertising brochures reminding viewers of the times when society expected women to suffer in silence.
