“It’s art. And it makes people happy. And that’s a very good thing. We have this problem in our culture. We take art that appeals to women—film, books, music—and we undervalue it. We assume it can’t be high art. Especially if it’s not dark and tortured and wailing. And it follows that much of that art is created by other women, and so we undervalue them as well. We wrap it up in a pretty pink package and resist calling it art.” ArtWomenUndervalue Book:The Idea of You Source: The Idea of You

To rich white men—and sold out our entire booth at the fair.” ArtWomenUndervalued Book:The Idea of You Source: The Idea of You
