Conversation partner and discrepancy
The article asserts the subject was a "conversation partner" with Picasso. This apparently means she talked to him, a fact we can assume. Does this add to our understanding of her in an encyclopedia?

The article reports "but it is believed by some art historians that Gilot’s relationship with Picasso is what cut short her artistic career." Yet later it is reported she has exhibitions of her art continuing into the 21st century, seemingly continuing an "artistic career." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3E0B:BA00:D1E2:6874:9BF4:B35A (talk) 14:32, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Cambridge degree?
Under "Education" it is written "She received her English Literature degree from Cambridge University." This is surprising. Firstly, Cambridge did not award degrees to women until 1948 (that might be seen as a technicality - Mme Gilot could certainly have studied for a degree and perhaps received a form of certificate).

Cambridge degrees require years of residence and study (a minimum of two years even in wartime, and war had not yet started).

On her biographical website, it is written "In the fall and winter [of 1938], Gilot attends the Sorbonne and the British Institute in Paris where she completes a degree in English literature from Cambridge University the following spring." Elsewhere online it is said that the then British Institute taught English language to French students.

Can someone correct either me or the article? Thanks.
