Aqua Tofana Apothecary Women-Owned And Operated Shirt
The design on this shirt reads “Aqua Tofana Apothecary” with an illustration of a plant, along with the words “EST. 1633” and “Woman-Owned & Operated.”Â
This shirt draws inspiration from Aqua Tofana, a legendary poison from the 17th century that is said to have been created and sold by an Italian woman named Giulia Tofana.Â
Aqua Tofana was allegedly used by women to discreetly get rid of abusive husbands, making it a symbol of secret empowerment for women seeking freedom in a patriarchal society.
This shirt takes inspiration from a darker piece of history but reclaims it in a way that celebrates women’s empowerment. Aqua Tofana has become a symbol of how women, even in oppressive circumstances, found ways to reclaim power and agency. Today, it is often symbolically to highlight women’s strength, resilience, and desire for self-determination.
