"Emily Mason recalls that although her mother did not think in feminist terms in a formal sense, she did feel that she had been discriminated against as a woman. But as a woman Alice Mason bestowed one of her most important gifts to the future by being a living example to her daughter and to us that an artist who happens to be female can, in spite of obstactles, successfully balance family life and artistic excellence. This exhibition is a document of that legacy."--Marilyn Brown, page 11.
