“All artists have a hard time, but statistically it certainly is true that women are not given as many one-person shows as men, their work is not bought by museums as much, and there are fewer women teaching in professional art schools.” Susan Michod, July 1974
Artist, educator, co-founded the non-profit women artists’ collaborative Artemisia Gallery, Chicago, IL, 1973.
