I collapsed the "Life" section into "Career" since there was no information in the article about Semmel's life before she started her artistic training. That said, I'm excited that there is an article for her now, I'm looking forward to contributing more to it, and I do hope that at some point we have enough material here for separate "life" and "career" sections.--Arthistorygrrl (talk)18:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think it is necessary to point out, that it's problematic to call Semmel a "writer" since there are very few publications of her. Although she was working (collaboratively) on a book about women's erotic art, it was never published. The book was supposed to be called "A New Eros: Sexual Imagery in Woman’s Art". Semmel said in an interview: "Although I was paid for the manuscript’s contract, the book was never published, the reason—as I was told—was that, “Feminism was over.” (https://www.alexandergray.com/attachment/en/594a3c935a4091cd008b4568/Publication/594a3ceb5a4091cd008b71f5, Page 4). She wrote the text for "Contemporary Women", the exhibition she curated in the 1970s. She also wrote an article called "Sexual Imagery in Women's Art" (with April Kinglsey) that appeared in Women's Art Journal (https://www.jstor.org/stable/1358010). But no books and I am not aware of any other articles. --KaterBegemot (talk)09:52, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
