2010 Dreams for Women: Featuring World-Class Female Athletes

As a Vancouver-based organization, The Antigone Foundation wanted to do something special to commemorate the historic 2010 year and to honour Canadian and U.S. female athletes competing in our city. This calendar was also made using soy-based inks and Forest Stewardship Council certified 10% recycled paper in order to minimize its environmental impact. The 2010 Dreams for Women calendar features original postcard art created by athletes about their dreams for women.
