Breaking into the boy’s club is Module one of our three module course ‘More than muses: A feminist guide to art history’.
Why have women artists not achieved the status of their male counterparts? What barriers have they faced and how have some women beaten the odds?
About
What difficulties did women who wanted careers as artists face? Katy Tarbard discusses the barriers to professional status for women artists from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and some of the ways in which they were able to overcome them.
After the break, Nicola McCartney reflects on why women artists are still underrepresented in museums. How are groups like the Guerrilla Girls campaigning for change?
