Distillation, by Gillian Ayres, 1957
‘I do remember a woman saying if you are female and you want to get on, you’d better teach needlework or graphic design or something. You certainly won’t get a job teaching painting. And I can remember women saying that they wanted to give up their lives for their boyfriend, who was a great artist. I was always very ratty if there was any of that sort of thing.’
— Gillian Ayres, from this article in, of all places, the Torygraph
Trust the Torygraph to suggest that it’s possible to ignore away sexual discrimination. Knobs.
