Women artists of the Harlem Renaissance dealt with issues that were
unique to both their gender and their race. They experienced racial
prejudice, which limited their ability to obtain training and to be
taken seriously as working artists. They also encountered
prevailing sexism, often an even more serious barrier. Including
seventy-two black and white illustrations, this book chronicles the
challenges of women artists, who are in some cases unknown to the
general public, and places their achievements in the artistic and
cultural context of early twentieth-century America. Contributors
to this first book on the women artists of the Harlem Renaissance
proclaim the legacy of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller,
Augusta Savage, Selma Burke, Elizabeth Prophet, Lois Maillou Jones,
Elizabeth Catlett, and many other painters, sculptors, and
printmakers. In a time of more rigid gender roles, women artists
faced the added struggle of raising families and attempting to gain
support and encouragement from their often-reluctant spouses in
order to pursue their art. They also confronted the challenge of
convincing their fellow male artists that they, too, should be seen
as important contributors to the artistic innovation of the era.
