Young woman studying art at Columbia.

S2E3 - Dora and Greta accompany Rose to the first art class she is auditing. Rose is initially bowled over by the nude model, but she acclimates eventually.

S2E3 - Back in the common room, Rose asks Dora, Greta and Milly about their life goals. With a series of pointed questions, Rose makes them realize for the first time how male-dominated the world is and how foolish some of their dreams are.

DORA: You won't be judged by the professor's highest standard, Rose.
ROSE: I'm not sure I could meet his lowest standard.
GRETA: Sketching, drawing, he'll say, “Let your hand follow what your eye sees.”
ROSE: I'll try. I practiced a little last night, drawing a bowl of fruit. My lemon was fine, but my banana was a disaster. It's getting the right texture…
DORA: You okay?
GRETA: What's the matter?
DORA: She can't breathe.
GRETA: Watch… her chair!
ROSE: My God, oh, my God. Too close, too close. That's our subject?
DORA: That's our subject.
ROSE: That's our subject.
GRETA: That texture's gonna be even harder to capture.

ROSE: I think all of them are men.
DORA: I never put that together.

GRETA: I mean, it would be nice to meet a man.
DORA: Yeah, I guess.

ROSE: I hope you don't mind the thoughts of an older woman. I'm just very new at all this.
DORA: Not at all.
