Product Description

When women were admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1860 female art students gained a foothold in the most conservative art institution in England. Analysing their education and careers this book argues that the women who attended the art schools during the 1860s and 1870s produced work that accommodated yet subtly challenged the orthodoxies of the fine art establishment.
