page no. 1 2 Dear Ulrike, Forgive me for taking so long to respond to your letter. As I said when we spoke, my art department was laid off in late january & I've been searching for work.     Fortunately, I've found enough freelance to sustain me for now, but it leads to my overall concern regarding life as an artist. I have found it extremely difficult to make a living. I regret how short sighted I was when younger. I feel feminism would benefit politically & practically by clarifying the economic issues & findung solutions to work towards from the start.     Though I benefitted artistically & spiritually from the feminist movement, it may have contributed (through over-idealistc values) to my financial "retardation". As a woman I feel this also influenced my less than wise choice in men - especially when younger.     Besides these reservations, I am still politically impacted by the Feminist Art Program and many of my strenghts were developped & nourished during that period.			page no. 1 2 I would be very interested to read your project "Women's careers in the art world" & hope to hear more. Sincerely, Judy Huddleston
