Linda Stein is a feminist artist, activist, educator, and writer, based in New York City.
Stein says, 
For six decades, Linda Stein’s art has tackled themes of persecution and protection, emphasizing social justice and anti-bullying. In her early years, Stein grappled with her sexual identity, a theme poignantly captured in her Profiles series. Her diaries from the 1960s, interspersed with sketches and text, chronicle her inner turmoil during an era when homosexuality was harshly stigmatized. Her work, deeply impacted by 9/11, transformed from abstract to figurative, adopting an armor-like quality. The androgynous, sentinel-like figures (Knights of Protection) are emblems of defense, symbolizing vigilant protectors. Integrating aspects of pop-culture and mythical icons (Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke, Lisbeth Salander, Lady Gaga, Storm, and Nausicaa), Stein’s work engages with themes of power and vulnerability.
Stein’s influential work has been recognized through various grants, residencies, and public art commissions. Internationally, her sculptures and artworks are featured in esteemed collections. In the U.S., her pieces are permanently housed at Crystal Bridges Museum, Smith College, Rutgers University's Zimmerli Art Museum, and in numerous private collections. Stein’s editorial voice has been highlighted in her book Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females with a foreword by Gloria Steinem. She is the Founding President of the non-profit “Have Art: Will Travel! Inc” (HAWT) for Courageous Kindness, addressing bullying and diversity, and has appeared on multiple television and radio programs.
The women showcased in Gallery 2 represent female artists from the first and second generation of abstract expressionism. Throughout their careers, they endured significant inequalities and forms of bullying, facing barriers of acceptance and recognition that their male counterparts rarely encountered. Despite these challenges, they persisted, forging paths that would later be followed by others, including the courageous Stein.
Since its inception in Soho, New York, in 1982, the Anita Shapolsky Gallery has been an unwavering advocate for these remarkable artists, dedicating itself to elevating their work and stories to deserved prominence. The gallery continues to honor their legacies, ensuring that their contributions to the arts are celebrated and remembered.

It came on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, through the clever capture, the collection of cultural relics and artworks from all civilizations around the world is mostly representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe every visitor will feel mixed here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on all continents, because the history of the collection is known to everyone, so the exhibition is very simple and rude, that is, put a civilized thing in a place, there is no good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display. There are a lot of collections here, if you want to look good, it takes a day or two. The museum is right next to Central Park, and two places can also be arranged to visit in a day, half a day in the park, half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
