        Summary note
        Examination of the work and artistic culture of women artists in France in the early twentieth century. The author explores the critical culture through which their work was represented and patronised, and the contemporary perceptions of femininity involved. In the process, she provides reasons why many of these names have been 'written out' of modern art history.
