Post 2, Middle Ages Ch.1 quotes, Mya Germain.

 QUOTES:

Chadwick

1. "Within the convent women had access to learning even though they were prohibited from teaching by St. Paul’s caution that. a woman must be a learner, listening quietly and with due submission."

It's enlightening to hear how Women were treated. Less freedoms but it seems women were still trying to create an impact or be seen more. 

2. "Although traditional art history has omitted women from discussions of the productions of the double monasteries, there is considerable evidence that by the eighth century powerful and learned abbesses from noble families ran scriptoria in which manuscripts were copied and illuminated."

It's interesting that history has had women on the back burner. 

Guerrilla Girls

1. "There are records of women in Rome heading workshops producing sculptures and painting, usually after the deaths of their artist husbands."

I'm glad to hear that women even back then were still trying to create art. That says a lot even if they were creating art after their husbands died. So who was really the heavy lifter.

2. "Few of these artists signed their work, so it's not easy to attribute specific works to individual artist. Instead it is patrons, whose names were recorded, who get the credit. For once, male artist are as forgotten as the females"

That's semi surprising. Who would've thought. Maybe during that time they weren't looking for some recognition, wish we knew the significance.
