The Women Behind Disney

From Vanity Fair's article, Coloring the Kingdom

I just wanted to share a really insightful podcast a friend sent me today. It's a brief  history of the women artists at Disney and how animation was and still is a male dominated field. (The women doing this podcast are not animators, so it's kind of interesting to hear outsiders discussing this.)
