Dear Liz Gwinn,
I removed Dr. Lowery Stokes Sims from my list although I cannot understand why she would not want to know what women in the arts are saying about the nature of feminist art. Many African American artists are also feminists and are continuing to be excluded from the white male establishment. Is she not interested in helping women artists? Does she feel she is too far above her sisters to participate or be interested in their concerns? I cannot help but wondering about a woman who should be setting an example for what it possible for a black woman in the arts to achieve to be taking the position of setting herself apart from other feminists.
