The story of modern British art history told through the stories of its women. Consider for a moment the history of modern art in Britain; you may struggle to land on a narrative that features very many women.

Introducing the lives and works of a rich network of neglected women artists, ‘British Women Artists’ sets these alongside such renowned presences as Barbara Hepworth, Laura Knight, and Winifred Nicholson.
