Women artists in the 20th century: a changing landscape



"Women have always been artists, and there always have been glimpses of women’s art within male-driven societies. Still, women artists faced difficulty in the centuries that followed when trying to engage with the art world and canon." 

Eileen Agar, The Autobiography of an Embryo, 1933–4

Reflect on the following questions:
  • How have women been represented, underrepresented, and misrepresented in art history?
  • How should we tell the stories of forgotten women artists today?
