inspired by John's contest theme

UNDER THE GLASS CEILING part 1 Mary and Angelica ,ladies of great renown Painters extraordinaire in Ol' London town Still life,portraits & history on a grand scale- Left out of a group painting because they were not male ! NOTE Mary Moser & Angelica Kauftmann help to found the R & A but were left out of the 1770's painting of Academicians .There were to be no other women members until 1922. UNDER THE GLASS CEILING part 2 Forbears,Edie,Kate and Ann furnished with brush and pan. Each a Victorian 'Miss' tied in service's abyss. NOTE Upstairs and down stairs ,no in between,just thirteen and just there to please as Master and Lady take their ease. THROUGH THE GLASS CEILING Deborah,God annointed Judge&Prophetess a matriarch,overseer of men,..no less; Mary,at Jesus feet,studied...just as a man in Christ there is no gender ban
