RED: A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE REDHEAD by Jacky Colliss Harvey Many of our modern associations with red hair can be blamed on the ancient Greeks and Romans, who were keenly aware that some members of the most blood-thirsty 'barbarian' tribes they encountered had distinctive red hair.Įngland's own violent history with Scotland and Ireland later led to red hair becoming a useful visual shorthand to signify (and damn) an entire race of people - yet more redheaded barbarians. There's nothing very sexy about sunblock, after all (or peeling, reddened skin for that matter). Of course, pale skin has also long been associated with a reclusive interior life, which probably explains why redheaded men suffer accusations of weediness to do with shunning 'manly' outdoor pursuits. Very white skin is better adapted to absorbing what little vitamin D it can from a not very sunny Scottish winter - and the vitamin is vital to ensure the healthy development of bones. ![]() This relative prevalence the further north you go has less to do with the colour of your hair than the accompanying paleness of your skin. Only 2 per cent of the world's population have it, although in some areas - like Scotland - that rises to 13 per cent.

Miguel de Cervantes was pacey brilliant with his beginning of ‘ Don Quixote‘, and frankly, this feels unexpected considering that books of such large size tend to start off typically with a drag. It doesn’t matter whether you are just reading it for the first time or doing so for the tenth time, there is always a fresh, interesting angle to it that you might have maybe ignored or left unsavory on your previous trials, and it gets even better when the reader gets their hands on a transcribed edition to your local language. Generally, the book is a complete joy to read. Originally rendered in the Spanish language, the book immediately met an instant success and for this reason, it was transcribed into several other languages and dialects across geographies, with its English versions coming in by 16 for the two parts respectively, enabling people of all cultures to enjoy the artful creation in their own local languages and voices. ![]() ![]() While she does not argue that there have not been notable female painters, to focus on this is to miss the point. It is appropriate, therefore, in light of the recent publication of the book, "Ninth Street Woman", by Mary Gabriel, chronicling the challenges of five aspiring female artists to climb "the canvas ceiling" (in the words of the print version of The New Yorker) in post-World War II New York City, to return to the article that helped kick-start the debate that continues to this day.Īt the heart of Nochlin's analysis is the question that forms the title. ![]() When it comes to not beating around the bush, few can complete with the seminal (and self-avowed feminist) 1971 essay by Linda Nochlin, "Why Have There Been No Great Woman's Artists" (see here, being the 2015 version posted by the late author). ![]() |
