Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?

Can you name five female artists? Are you shocked to learn that most of the World's population can't? Sadly, women have largely been pushed into the background of all industries of history throughout all time, and the arts are no exception. In this episode, we discuss an article from ArtNews by Linda Nochlin from 1971 titled "Why have there been no great women artists?" and discuss the disparity of female artists throughout history books and records, the idea of "feminine" or "girly" art and how women are viewed in the art industries as a whole.
