The Glasgow School Sisters who Influenced Klimt

I clicked on this blog post expecting to be inspired by Margaret and Frances’s art (which is amazing), but instead came away depressed and angry about the limitations placed on their careers.

Their marriages, in turn, lead to a dissolving of the sisters’ artistic partnership as Margaret and Frances began collaborative work with their respective partners, as was expected of dutiful wives. During such work much of the sister’s own artistic input was credited to their husbands.

Rage. 🔥

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
