Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators?
This program examines the history of women in art in brief and then explores the lives, careers and works of several major women artists from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, including Artemisia Gentileschi and Mary Cassatt.
