Hey women - We have our own month now, too. And yes, this does relate to
art....How many of you remember learning about WOMEN Renaissance artists in
college (If you went to college in the 70's---you are probably in the same
boat as me--There were no women discussed)? This list is by no means
comprehensive. Please post additional Women's History sites you have found.
I am assigning a homework assignment about women in the arts for my new
group of students (we are on trimesters)
