“I am not afraid… I was born to do this.” ~ Jeanne d’Arc
This will be the first in a series of posts exploring the impact on the world of remarkable women.
Joan of Arc by Albert Lynch. This painting could be the truest likeness of her, as she had short, dark hair, cut in a round style just above her ears.
So often we celebrate men’s amazing achievements, but there have also been many women throughout history who have made remarkable contributions that have continued way beyond their life spans. They have become iconic. Their actions reflect the epitome of the virtues we aspire to today: honesty, commitment, integrity, courage and service to others.

Grounding this assertion is the fundamental distinction between Being 1 or pure multiplicity, and existence, which involves the subtraction of contingent unities from such multiplicity without reducing the latter. 2 Accepting this distinction, it becomes possible to recognize that, from both an ontological and an existential perspective, minimalism discovers distinctive articulations. From the perspective of ontology, minimalism expresses its poietic in the terms of quantitya quantity from which are drawn its existential qualities. From an existential perspective, minimalism emerges by a logic of transumption -"a poetics involving transference from one part or place to another, and marking that transference in a material way." 3
In the case of minimalism, this transumption is from the material place of the work to its poietic takingplace. 4 If
