Judy says…
• • • “Men had a last supper, but women have had dinner parties.” “Men develop ideas and systems of explanation by absorbing past knowledge and critiquing and superseding it. Women, ignorant of their own history [do] not know what women before them . . . thought and taught. So, generations after generation, they struggle[d] for insights others have already had before them, [a] cruel repetitiousness that forces women to continually repeat efforts made a number of times by other women. [This] cruel repetition [is] not only a symbol of women's oppression but its actual manifestation” “My college art education left me feeling cheated. It was at Through the Flower that my true education began”
