Art is often a reflection of the mood of the civilization that it’s created in. This article discusses the way that art has been lagging behind in the reality of life for women today. Women have been rising in the business world for years, and now the stresses of being on top are bringing out a whole new side to what makes a woman. Violence and women have always been viewed as an abnormality. If a woman becomes violent it was because she was driven to it, not because it is a part of her nature. That ideal opinion of women has been forced into reality lately with more and more women acting in ways that are unexplainable.
Tanenhaus sites the case of Amy Bishop, a woman who shot into a room of her coworkers. Her attempts to get tenure were shot down, and she became violent. She also was later implicated in the death of her brother when they were children. Tanenhaus sites the rise in women’s awareness has brought out the more ruthless side to women, a side that has been present in men for hundreds of years. That connection is brought out more in the written side of art then in painting or demonstrations.
