I said in my last post that Jane Peterson would be worth exploring. Her painting of Brittany from my magic year of 1908 is more in the style of Gauguin and later artists than those of Jeanette's friends and points to a potential topic. But first, the quick way to connect you to the artist: Rediscovering Jane Peterson.

Hi Katherine,
Jane Peterson is truly astounding. It's so disheartening to see how much she was overlooked just because of her gender.
We're supposed to be living in the age of the rise of the divine feminine and rise of the divine masculine to balance out the unity of both.
This is a long haul to have this in its fullness. The patriarchal mentality is dying a very slow death, kicking and screaming.
Women who still believe men should rule them are brainwashed going from being raised in a patriarchal household to the same kind of marriage.
I know it's a rant on this subject, but it's still so prevalent in every country.
Cheers to a new way in relationships for us all.

Well, at least in addition to all sorts of imbalances in power relations in the world, there also the lovely connections that women make through their friendships and appreciation of each other. Forward, sisters!
