In this special episode from our ArtMuse ArtTalk series, host Grace Anna interviews the author and podcaster Jennifer Dasal about Dasal's recently published book "The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Epoque Paris". In "The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Epoque Paris", Jennifer Dasal shares the never before told story of the American Girls’ Club in Paris. As the book end reads: “Opened in the 1890’s, the Club was a center of expatriate living and singularly harbored a generation of independent, talented, and driven American women dedicated to the fine arts…These women forged connections in the arts and letters with luminaries like Auguste Rodin and Gertrude Stein, or became activists through their relationships with the likes of Emmeline Pankhurst. But just as importantly, these women’s lives revealed the power of the Club itself, and the way that having a safe home of ambition allowed them to grow as teachers, artists, suffragists, and people”.
