In Chapter 1 of Udall's book I enjoy reading and understanding how each one of these female artists developed such a strong tie and identified greatly with nature and where they came from. I believe that women are better able identify and tap into the intricate delicateness that is involved with nature and these artists show that in they way they paint their surroundings. Each artist seemed to embrace the fact that they possess these 'feminine' traits and are able to find connection in different areas. In a way their embracing of the traits, but still identifying strongly as women, is contrary to what many imagine feminist to be. I think it's a great example of how to attempt to balance such distinct traits.
