Abstract (en)

Historical account of the first 15 years of the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs, founded in Paris in 1881 to represent the interests of women artists and to facilitate the exhibition of their work. Explores how the Union campaigned to have women artists written about and admitted to the Salon jury and into the Ecole des beaux-arts, Paris. Discusses the growth of the women's movement, educational reforms, institutional changes in the art world, and critical debates and contemporary scientific thought.
