Raven must have been the main me out in my organized world of abuse that continued into my 40s. I didn't understand until much later that Raven believed she was "a male without a penis". I have notebooks full of her images and memories to include watching her slow healing process.
I had numerous images of "Coco Chanel" who always appeared as wounded emotionally. Since my integration, I've torn out a few magazine pictures. Took me awhile to understand. Coco was a wounded part of Raven. Her job was to hide Raven's femininity. Notice her discomfort with having breasts and now hiding her genital area. Healing but not completely comfortable in "her" body.
