This exhibition featured paintings, photographs, graphic art, and textiles by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century women artists to demonstrate the myriad ways in which women of that era participated in the visual arts. It was organized in conjunction with the March 2001 British Women Writers Association conference held at the University of Kansas and to celebrate Women's History Month.
