Working as a Female Artist in a Man's World [29]
This week we\u2019re discussing gender and how it influences the way we work. The high-end art world continues to be dominated by men and yet attend any workshop and most of the artists there will be women. Are female artists victims of a sexist society? Or are we actually holding ourselves back? We discuss how our parents influenced our attitudes, how women\u2019s tendency to care for others can hinder us, and how we might make our way confidently in a man\u2019s world without resorting to mimicking our male colleagues. We also wonder why some men take up two seats on a plane instead of just one!
\n(Damn! Should have scrolled further down the page\u2026 look at this article!!! By 40 women\u2019s confidence grows to match men and post 60 is greater!!!!! There is hope :-)
