Summary:

This catalog was produced as an accompaniment to an exhibition of the same name, held from February to May 2012 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC, in celebration of the Museum's 25th anniversary. The first exhibition to focus on the extraordinary depth and breadth of women's artistic practice in France from 1750 to 1848, it features paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings produced by 35 French women. Through these works and explanatory essays, readers will learn about the artists' education and professionalization, the prospects and constraints they faced, and how they dealt with the challenges of being a woman and artist as their country experienced its Revolution, the emergence of the Empire, and the Restoration.
