Description
Autograph letter signed. Tells Dorr how much Mentzel needs her and how important their work is. She says they must change the attitude about women and Art. Mentzel says she is pushed from one gallery to another and no one will take her on permanently, but says “the worse it gets, the more and better” she will paint. She says that at the end of her life there will be her work and Nell’s work and that the attitude that “women’s art is never great” will be broken in pieces” and that will help other women be stronger.
