I can honestly say I don’t recall reading an article like this before. All the while as I read it, I said to myself— “this is exactly what was missing the whole time!”
The only woman ever referenced was Anni Albers assuredly because she was married to Josef. It did seem striking during art history class there were all these men and only one woman! Ridiculous. Yet how long it has taken!
Lively imagery and great read. One worth exploring in a podcast.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the article. The women of Bauhaus are a subject I’ve always felt needed more attention, and it was one of the first requests I received on BlueSky. I absolutely loved every minute of researching it. You're right….so many of these women have been overlooked or overshadowed, even though their contributions were crucial. It’s definitely something worth continuing to explore, and I agree, it would make for a terrific episode to dive deeper into their stories!
I agree with the first comment here and was going to say something very similar. Thanks for doing this work and giving these artists a long overdue spotlight. As I was reading I just kept feeling it almost through their lens, the satisfaction of being recognized and acknowledged after a lifetime when that was not available to them.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to read this piece. That feeling, of seeing these women finally acknowledged and given their due, was something I hoped to capture. They pushed boundaries, challenged norms, and left an indelible mark, even when history tried to sideline them. I’m glad that came through!
