Unsung Heroines
This site focuses on many of the lesser known women artists working in Britain in the 20th century in the hope of making a persuasive visual argument that their work merits greater attention.
Many of these women were married to artists and it is no surprise that usually their husband's work is, inevitably, better known. Although women were at least allowed, for the first time during this period, to attend art school, their continued relative obscurity raises interesting questions about the confines that other conventions and obligations placed them under.
