- Finally. BM says that there's full acknowledgement in the book, but there's a spot on this page where there's NO footnote/endnote/credit for "Don't speak of how women can't become heroes," which is my translation. x.com/ae_phillips/status/167…

Replying to @yilinwriter
Unfortunately it looks as if your suspicion re the catalogue is correct. I hope you are properly acknowledged and compensated.

My response to British Museum's recent public statement forthcoming: - In their 1st email to me, BM never admitted or apologized for using my work WITHOUT CONSENT. They just said "400 people in 20 countries have helped make this exhibition happen and we are grateful to you all."
