Concept information

Preferred term

women artists  

Definition

  • There are many reasons why women should be treated as a separate group in reference to art practice, as in other social and professional spheres. Historical evidence indicates that women have been explicitly and implicitly discriminated against in the art world and its institutions, while in training, as professionals, and in the canons set up by the discipline of art history.
