"I hope my work is recognizable as being by a woman, though I certainly would never deliberately make it feminine in any way, in subject or treatment. But if I speak in a voice which is my own, it's bound to be the voice of a woman." "I didn't want to be a woman artist, I just wanted to be an artist." Isobel Bishop (1978 statement, as quoted in The "New Woman" Revised : Painting and Gender Politics on Fourteenth Street (1992) by Ellen Wiley Todd, Ch. 7, p. 273. http://quotes.yourdictionary.com/author/isabel-bishop/#VZTXQ73HqeTd6LZz.99)
