This week we read and discuss Art Historian Linda Nochlin's 1971 Article, "Why Have There Been No Great Female Artists?". We talk about what it means to be "great", how society has affected the way women study art, feminist art, and the early women's liberation movement.

Hello Again!

We disappeared for sometime! It was a combination of things. We both started new jobs, we planned a wedding, got married and went on a honeymoon, and then the holidays struck! But we plan to be back consistently now and hope to get back on track with the podcast. Including using all the social media platforms more often.
