SOS's motivation for creating this piece stems from her mother's courageous journey as the lone female salesperson within a male office environment in the 1980's. Despite consistently outperforming her colleagues in sales, her achievements were overshadowed by the prevailing gender bias. It's a stark reminder of ongoing gender inequalities in areas like workplace and healthcare. Despite outselling her male peers consistently, SOS never witnessed her mother being rewarded for being the best, despite seeking legal action for fair treatment, pay, and a pension. This underscores the lasting grip of patriarchal power urging us to challenge and dismantle the structures upholding gender disparities.
