Feminism in the art world

In this article, Emily Colucci talks about how the art world has all-women exhibitions and how that has a negative impact on the female role in the art world.  She writes about how throughout history, the art world was dominated by men.  Also, she did write about a couple of artists and their opinion about the art world and feminism.  By having a all-women exhibitions, feminist are hurting themselves.  However, in an interview with Jenny Mushkin Goldman, she claims that through these all-women exhibitions, they are making some progress on the rise of females in the art world.  Another artist Indra Cesarine, she claims that she should not have to focus on gender to get the art but the other way around. (focus on art than the gender).
