Abstract
Account of the way in which women have succeeded and prospered as professional artists from 1500 to the present day and reconstruction of the changing world of woman artists, tracing its development through the centuries as artistic and social attitudes evolved. Women artists were outsiders in a male profession, they were considered as intruders, still they found their own ways: ways to get the training they desired, the independency as artists they aimed for.
