A new exhibition at a museum explores the lives and contributions of women associated with Sigmund Freud, including his family members and psychoanalytic colleagues. The show features historical subjects such as Freud's daughter Anna and her partner Dorothy Burlingham, who influenced his work and contributed to analytical practice in the early 20th century. It also highlights women like Susie Orbach, a co-founder of the Women's Therapy Centre during the Second Wave of feminism in 1976. The exhibition aims to bring to life the diverse perspectives of women connected to Freud's history and legacy, showcasing their experiences and achievements through various artworks and artifacts.

Her work is held in collections worldwide, including institutions such as the Museo d'Arte Orientale in Turin, the ICP, and MoMA PS1. Barrada withdrew her work from a textile survey at the Barbican in London earlier this year due to the institution's decision not to host a lecture on Israel's attacks on Palestine.

She began taking classes at the Museum Art School (now Pacific Northwest College of Art) in 1950, but due to financial constraints, she only attended for one year. After her divorce, Parsons was hired as an instructor at the school, teaching for over 20 years. She later taught at other institutions including the Young Women's Christian Association and Portland State University. Parsons is best known for her collage work, which often incorporated found materials such as posters, magazine covers, and ticket stubs. Her art is held in the permanent collection of the Portland Museum of Art and can also be found at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, and Portland Community College. Parsons' dedication to her craft influenced many artists who studied with her and befriended her during her lifetime.
