The Guerilla Girls’ Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art struck me in a way I was not expecting. This articles just demonstrates how deeply discrimination runs in the Western World and sometimes make me wonder if it will ever evolve out as newer generations come into control. However, I find it difficult to be optimistic because while the experiences fo discriminated people have improved in comparison to the past it almost seems as if the discrimination has simply become more underhanded. A prime example from this reading is how while women artists are gaining credibility and exposure they still aren't treated as equals, especially Black female artsits (which carries a double discrimination). Women's art is still not shown to the public as it deserves, which proves my point of discrimination being much more underhanded.
