此作品闡述女性於私領域擴張到公領域的行為。作為女性思想的展露與身體被社會所壓抑的狀態，以維持女性的身份做性特徵的變形，塑造一個非性別定義的「身體」，使「她」在跨越私領域的同時也能感受到身心上的轉變。
對於女性從私領域過渡到公領域的過程，再從女性去性別化的現象，到利用剪碎女性在私領域的象徵物-圍裙，試圖使它成為一種對於女性踏入公領域的假象。在呈現女性被歸類於私領域的身分過程中，去堆疊自身在公領域的符號，也是一種對於本質上的自我消弭與假象的重建。
社會對舊時代女性性別特質的想像，除了將陰柔及感性排除於公領域外，這種性別特質的框架限制了女性對自我的塑造方式。而在雌雄同體的概念中，瓦解了女性無法在公領域立足的論述。利用陰性書寫以及作為1912年紐約市婦女參政權論者的示威活動中視為婦女解放的象徵-口紅，成為一種將女性推入公領域的符號。最後，使性別宣言的朗讀成為女性為自身思想發聲的方式。

This work illustrates the act of women expanding from the private to the public sphere. As an expression of female thought and the societal suppression of the body, it transforms gender characteristics to maintain a woman's identity, thus shaping a non-gender-defined 'body.' This allows 'her' to experience a transformation of both mind and body as she crosses from the private into the public sphere.
The process of women transitioning from private to public spheres, and the phenomenon of degenderization, involves shredding the apron—a symbol of women in private domains—to create an illusion of women stepping into the public sphere. In the process of presenting women as categorized within the private sphere, stacking symbols of the public sphere also represents an obliteration of the essential self and a reconstruction of illusion.
Society's perception of traditional feminine traits not only excluded femininity and sensibility from the public sphere, but this gendered framework also restricted women's ways of shaping their own identities. In the concept of androgyny, the notion that women cannot establish themselves in the public sphere is dismantled. By utilizing 'feminine writing' and the 'lipstick,' which was regarded as a symbol of women's liberation during the 1912 suffragist demonstrations in New York City, these two elements became symbols pushing women into the public sphere. Finally, to make the act of reading the 'Gender Manifesto' a way for women to voice their own thoughts.
