Abstract

This seems to be an age of discovery. Many people are surprised to find out that ‘women artists’ or ‘artist-women’ exist. Apparently, they were long forgotten by art history until recently; only they were not. What has been forgotten in public discourse, or perhaps never even acknowledged, is the feminist art histories that started to rehabilitate the work of women artists over fifty years ago.
