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. The Royal Female College of Art, the South
Kensington Schools and the Slade School of Fine Art also produced
increasing numbers of women artists. Their entry into a
male-dominated art world altered the perspective of other artists
and the public. They came from disparate levels of society-Princess
Louise, Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, studied sculpture at the
National Art Training School-yet they shared ambition, talent and
courage. Analyzing their education and careers, this book argues
that the women who attended the art schools during the 1860s and
1870s-including Kate Greenaway, Elizabeth Butler, Helen Allingham,
Evelyn De Morgan and Henrietta Rae-produced work that accommodated
yet subtly challenged the orthodoxies of the fine art
establishment. Without their contributions, Victorian art would be
not simply the poorer but hardly recognizable to us today.
