Brilliant Women

May 13, 2008 11:54 PM

The National Portrait Gallery exhibition Brilliant Women explores "the impact of the original 'Bluestocking Circle', a group of celebrated women writers, artists and thinkers who forged new links between gender, learning and virtue in eighteenth-century Britain". The exhibition site has the audio presentations from the exhibition, including contempory texts about "bluestocking" meetings, women's friendships and the painting "The Livng Muses of Great Britain". There is also a transcript of the audio files.

Thanks a lot for posting this. This kind of stuff really gets lost and instead we get crap like 100 sexiest women in the world.

If I may sidestep from arts and culture to business, we have Fortune's 50 most powerful women in business and the Forbes 100 most powerful women in the world.

(P.S. There is a minor misspelling in the name of the painting in the second line "Livng")
