Women in Art features lots of women I was interested in learning about, but it was deeply problematic. It deadnames the only trans person included, uses vaguely ableist language when talking about disabled artists, and has a few smaller issues. I wanted to love it but it just didn't deliver. The parts that I liked were almost enough, but I just couldn't with the transphobia. It needs a sensitivity reader / edit, but as stands I can't recommend it.

TrishB Ouch…..thanks for your thoughts. (Ouch for the book not your thoughts!) (edited) 3y

My office is in Catlett Hall at the University of Iowa, named after Elizabeth Catlett. It was super cool to learn more about her in this beautiful book. There is one of her sculptures in our hall, but I would love to see more of her work!
