History & Social Sciences

Female artists have been involved in making art since time began, but many art forms dominated by women have been historically dismissed as craft instead of being considered fine art. This course will explore the contributions of female artists to art history, focusing on such women as Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, Rosa Bonheur, Georgia O’Keeffe, Kathy Köllwitz, Frida Kahlo, Barbara Hepworth, and Louise Bourgeois.
