(preliminary note: I've had a hard time trying to get close to an understanding. literature english is so much richer, that by times, I stumble)

history is a construction. It not necessarily represents how it was. which is what one has to bear in mind, and what is interesting. but what I find far more interesting, is a quote my math teacher a long time ago cited (he did things like that after lesson, and I cherished -and still cherish- it): culture is, what will rest.
and here is a tiny difference: in history, one digs out stuff to be right mostly. in culture (or art history) one visits forgotten and hidden tombs to understand, first of all.

so, yes.

(and if there hadn't been women in the shadow of history.. either 'the' or the one of art - stuff would be lots of darker, I believe)

^ men, too i am just now starting to read Middlemarch and a few biographies of George Eliot fascinating woman
