celebrate women artists?

Kitty B. found this in a modern art book from the Guerrilla Girls. Then, she posted it on facebook. I stole it. Enjoy

1. Working without the pressure of success.
2. Not having to be in shows with men.
3. Having an escape from the art world in your four free-lance jobs.
4. Knowing your career might pick up after you’re eighty.
5. Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make will be labeled feminine.
6. Not being stuck in a tenured teaching position.
7. Seeing your ideas live on in the work of others.
8. Having the opportunity to choose between your career and motherhood.
9. Not having to choke on those big cigars or paint in Italian suits.
10. Having more time to work when your mate dumps you for someone younger.
11. Being included in revised versions of art history.
12. Not having to undergo the embarrassment of being called a genius.
