Fierce Females: Women in Art

Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators? This program examines the history of women in art in brief and then explores the lives, careers and works of several major women artists from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, and Frida Kahlo are some of the artists discussed in this program.

*While our virtual humanities programs make watching at home by yourself possible, it can be more fun watching (and talking) with others! A few libraries around the state have started hosting “watch parties” where community members can watch and then talk about the program together.

For this program, the ENFIELD Public Library is hosting a "Watch Party" on the other side of the state so that people can watch the virtual program together. To attend the Watch Party in Enfield, you do NOT need to register for the event - just go to the Enfield Public Library at 23 Main Street, Enfield starting at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, March 4.
