Women in Street Art

A hobby of mine is going out finding street art. After a recent walk in London I noticed that I had collected photos of quite a few pieces that feature women. I posted about this on my Instagram, but I have taken this opportunity to collect together various pieces I have seen on my travels that depict women.
