Topic for Cinco de Mayo




Here's today’s topic : Why do you think Women in the Arts are relegated to supportive roles, or roles in group settings, or are relegated to renegade roles, alone, out there somewhere, pioneering without much help from the arts community or from society ?
Do you think these are valid questions ?
Can you think of any women who have been marginalized thusly, and what were some of the results ? Suicide, loss of family, loss of job, mental breakdown, or the abandonment of the artistic pursuit ? Have you ever felt marginalized as a woman, especially as a woman artist ? Let me know what you think. All the best, Linda Ravenswood
