edit... that Blanche McVeigh co-founded the Printmakers Guild, later called Texas Printmakers, in response to being excluded from the male-dominated Lone Star Printmakers?Source: Edwards, Katie Robinson,. Midcentury Modern Art in Texas , p54 "In response to being shut out, eight female artists, led by Bertha Landers, launched the Printmakers guild in 1939." There are additional supporting sentences in the same source paragraph.- ALT1:... that Blanche McVeigh's home workshop included a Sturges printing press so large and heavy that the floor needed to be shored up to support it? Source: "She too kept a small press in her house, but later became one of the few people in the country to own one of the new Sturges presses, so heavy and formidable that McVeigh was forced to shore up the floor of her pier-and-beam house to keep it from crashing through.

This article seems to meet the DYK age and length requirements, although its history is a little unclear. Approving the ALT1 hook, which is more interesting. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
