Welcome to HerArt podcast, a project for art lovers, especially art created by women. In our seventh episode, we will talk about Laura Knight - the first woman to be elected to full membership of the Royal Academy of Arts. My name is Nata Andreev and I am going to tell you seven curious facts that you didn’t know about the artist that painted people in action in a realistic style and was able to compete with men on their own terms, managing to get herself elected to that almost entirely masculine preserve, the RA.
