Having also been looking at some of the advances in feminism from campaigning for women to have the right to vote to what it means now, I felt I should mention that I found it very difficult to find female screen printers via the Google search facility...I found way more male printers in my initial search and wondered about the right to equal pay we are supposed to have in the workplace.
I feel that even although we are told that there are regulations in place to make sure there is equal pay and treatment of the sexes in the workplace, the reality still remains one of an un equal workplace.
Thoughout my research in my sketchbook, I did mention artist Kiki Smith...She produces lovely screen prints with a very graphic appearance to them, mainly working in black and white with handmade papers, I particularly like her work, but already knew about this female artist, I was quite disappointed to have to struggle so much with finding female printers...
