Nochlin’s essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” has not only impacted the way we view feminist art, but also how we view women’s recognition in other career areas. Nochlin’s article inspired the essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Chefs?” by Charlotte Druckman, in which the author analyzes the terms cook and chef, and how each one is attributed to an individual based on their gender. A cook is often associated with a woman whereas a chef is associated with a man. By using Nochlin's argument in "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?", we can analyze where these nuances come from and how they are perpetuated in day-to-day living.
