Ruth Gikow Early Bride c. 1955


Jack Levine was Ruth Gikow's husband until she died in 1982.   He was about the strongest advocate of her work.   To me her work was a precursor to the earliest documents of 2nd wave feminism and it remained a continuing commentary on the position of women in the world.  She was saying the same things Betty Friedan would say years and decades earlier.
