Grace Ellen Hamblin (1 January 1908 - 15 October 2002) was the personal private secretary to Winston and Clementine Churchill for over forty years. She was also the first administrator of Chartwell when it passed to the National Trust, making sure it stayed faithful to its appearance when the Churchills resided there.

In 2015, a historian found a sealed tape recording of a conversation between Clementine Churchill and Hamblin, revealing that she and her brother carried out the destruction of Graham Sutherland's portrait of Winston Churchill at her brother's house.

Childhood
Cervantes was the daughter of pianist and composer Ignacio Cervantes, who was himself a child prodigy and considered to be one of the most important Cuban musicians of the 19th century. At the age of three, she would dance to her father's piano playing. Her father nicknamed her Chanchin (pig, possibly from the children's book Los Chanchin) because of her small, slightly pointed ears.

A pussyhat is a pink, crafted hat, created in large numbers by thousands of participants involved with the United States 2017 Women's March. They are the result of the Pussyhat Project, a nationwide effort initiated by Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman, a screenwriter and architect located in Los Angeles, to create pink hats to be worn at the march for visual impact.

Origin
In 2016, Suh and Zweiman became friends and took a crochet class together at The Little Knittery after Zweiman had suffered an injury and was recuperating. Suh was planning on attending the 2017 Women’s March and needed a hat to keep herself warm in Washington, D. C., but Zweiman was unable to attend due to her injury. Together they came up with the idea that a pink hat could symbolize unity to the marchers, as well as represent those who wanted to attend the march but were physically unable to for some reason.

The owner of the yarn store gave Suh and Zweiman a pattern to produce the hats, deliberately making it easy to make so crafters of all levels would be able to replicate it. Social media, the Project’s own site, and crafting sites (such as Ravelry) were used to spread the concept to the crafting community. In response to this call, crafters all over the United States began making the hats using patterns provided on the Project’s website for knitting, crocheting as well as sewing with fabrics. The project's goal was to have one million hats handed out at the Washington March. The hats were originally designed to be a positive form of protest for Trump's inauguration by Krista Suh. She stated "We could all wear them, make a unified statement". Zweiman stated "I think it's resonating a lot because we're really saying that no matter who you are or where you are, you can be politically active." Suh and Zwieman worked with Kat Coyle, the owner of a local knitting supply shop called The Little Knittery, to come up with the original design. The project launched in November 2016 and quickly became popular on social media with over 100,000 downloads of the pattern to make the hat.

Name
The name refers to the resemblance of the top corners of the hats to cat ears (as opposed to being a representation of a woman's vagina) and attempts to reclaim the derogatory term "pussy", a play on Trump's widely reported 2005 remarks that women would let him "grab them by the pussy." Many of the hats worn by marchers in Washington, D.C., were created by crafters who were unable to attend and wished them to be worn by those who could, to represent their presence. Those hats optionally contained notes from the crafters to the wearers, expressing support. They were distributed by the crafters, by yarn stores at the points of origin, carried to the event by marchers, and also distributed at the destination. The production of the hats caused reported shortages of pink knitting yarn across the United States. On the day of the march, NPR compared the hats to the "Make America Great Again" hats worn by Trump supporters, in that both represented groups that had at one point been politically marginalized; both sent "simultaneously unifying and antagonistic" messages; and both were simple in their messages.

Racism and transphobia charges
Critics have stated that the pink color of the pussyhats does not represent transgender women, or women of color whose "genitals are more likely to be brown than pink". The color pink actually came from the strong association of pink with femininity, as well as "caring, compassion, and love", not a literal representation of anatomy.

Although Suh says that the hat was never intended to reflect the idea that "women's issues are predicated on the possession of the pussy," critics argue that it is exclusionary. Suh admitted, "I think 'pussy' refers to the female anatomical part." However, Suh also noted that 'pussy' is "a word that's used to shame people who are feminine ... whether they are men, women [or] genderqueer. And I think what it comes down to is that femininity is really disrespected in our society." Suh believes the Pussyhat Project knitters were frustrated that the most intimate part of their bodies is often used as a catchword for weakness, and that they "want[ed] to reclaim that word."

Professor Cáel Keegan, who teaches Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, said the hat's reference to pink [vulvas] is suspect: "We know that any time feminism starts centering people based on anatomy, that gets kind of dangerous for trans people." He also pointed out that both cisgender women and transgender women are fighting for autonomy over their own bodies. The hat's allusion to the [vulva] also ignores the fact that some transgender women opt against undergoing gender-affirmation surgery. Keegan said that the pussyhat can promote the unconscious suggestion that only cisgender women are raped, which is untrue. In fact, he explained, "A lot of the reasons [transgender women] are attacked is because they do not possess that piece of anatomy."

Elle Hearns, a black transgender activist and a former organizing director of Black Lives Matter, criticized the hat for dividing people on the basis of sex and gender, maintaining, "Anything that is not elevating the conversation around the many identities of people in this country is not one that services [sic] the equality or the liberation or the freedom that people are pursuing."

In popular culture
Pussyhats were featured months after the 2017 march on the Missoni fashion runway. Models were outfitted with pink hats combined with zigzag-striped ribbing as they walked the runway, and at the end of the show, Angela Missoni and celebrities wore the hats as well. She called the collection "pink is the new black" and donated some of the proceeds from the collection to the American Civil Liberties Union and the UN Refugee Agency.

The hats appeared on the covers of Time magazine and The New Yorker. The New Yorker had a painting of an African-American woman wearing a knit pussyhat, flexing her bared arm on its February 6, 2017 cover, in the style of the woman on the 1943 We Can Do It! poster (often mistakenly referred to as Rosie the Riveter). The painting, named "The March", was created by Abigail Gray Swartz, who marched in Augusta, Maine. The image was subsequently made available for sale on prints, mugs, t-shirts and other items.

Saturday Night Live had several skits in which pussyhats appeared. Its January 21, 2017 episode showed a distressed Russian woman putting on a hat and tiptoeing behind Vladimir Putin as he talked about Russia's recent "purchase" of the United States via the election. Another episode, hosted by Jessica Chastain, showed Aidy Bryant in the audience wearing a pussyhat.
