The Chicago Women's Graphics Collective
Interview with Mary Ellen Croteau

In 2006, The Herstory Project exhibited a number of Chicago Women's Graphics Collective posters in the UIC Student Union art gallery. Prior to the opening of the exhibit, former CWLU member Katie Hogan interviewed feminist artist Mary Ellen Croteau who acted as curator for the show. Katie Hogan now works at the Heartland Cafe and has a Saturday morning radio show on community station WLUW.
