Summary

The art world's not exactly been what you'd call welcoming to women over the years, as you can discover at London's Guildhall Art Gallery's latest exhibition Enchanted Interiors. In this week's Chops, Hannah chats to curator Katty Pearce about the gilded cages women have been kept in, the glass ceiling facing female artists and whether or not the Pre-Raphaelites deserve all the side-eye Hannah's been giving them.
