A slew of 'women in the arts' books were published in the 70's. The Gorilla Girls were born. The books became my support group. I went back to school to complete my master's degree.

I have listed a few of the 'women in the arts' books -- from the 70's to the present. I hope other women artists find the books a support -- and a pleasure.

Some women (probably younger women who don't know any better) may say that there should be no distinction made between male and female artists. Very well meaning male artists might say the same. Someday that may be true. Until then -- I hope the women artists enjoy the possibilities pointed out by the books.

I wish you confidence in your work.
