I hesitate to contribute to this, as I feel that while sometimes a co-ed discussion is good, at other times men talking to men and women talking to women exclusively is good also.

But anyway, the best material I ever read in regard to being a woman artist was the biography of Bettina Steinke, "Bettina, Portraying Life in Art" by Don Hedgpeth.

She made her way on her own terms, and had some very definite views in regard to being a female artist, and also the relationship of artists to art groups.

Best to all.
