Historical Women: Female Artists in Canada 

This series profiles women artists from an historical perspective. These artists have made important contributions to art practice in Canada. Historically, women lacked the opportunities and education to excel. Their artwork was often overlooked and forgotten. If you know of any fascinating women artists who deserve recognition, please let me know.
