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.

GRETA: Drawing a man's genitals is not easy.
ROSE: Or appetizing.
GRETA: Did you draw a face on his penis?
MILLY: No.
GRETA: It's smiling.
MILLY: I draw what I see.
GRETA: Rose, let's see yours.
ROSE: Oh, I completely skipped the down-there part. It made me very uncomfortable.
GRETA: Even though it was smiling?

GRETA: Some of us want to be artists. I want to be an artist.
