Most people know the names of Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh, but far fewer can name a female artist. For centuries, systemic barriers such as exclusion from art academies, restricted professional opportunities, and societal expectations kept women artists from receiving public recognition. Even today, the imbalance between male and female representation in the art world impacts contemporary women artists.Â
