In this episode of Art & Cocktails, Kat Popova sits down with art historian, author, and podcast host Jennifer Dasal to talk about her latest book, The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris (Bloomsbury, 2025).
Jennifer shares the little-known story of the American Girls' Club in Paris—a home-away-from-home for women artists during the late 19th century that became a vital hub for creativity, education, and connection. We dive into her passion for art history, her research process, and why community was just as important for artists in Belle Époque Paris as it is today.
We also discuss:
How Jennifer uncovers forgotten stories in art history
Why Paris was a critical destination for American women artists
The parallels between the struggles of 19th-century women artists and today's ongoing inequities in the art world
The importance of building supportive communities for artists at every stage
