List of women Impressionists explained
The list of women Impressionists attempts to include women artists who were involved with the Impressionist movement or artists.
The four most well known women Impressionists - Morisot, Cassatt, Bracquemond, and Gonzalès - emerged as artists at a time when the art world, at least in terms of Paris, was increasingly becoming feminized. 609 works by women were shown in the 1900 Salon, as opposed to 66 by women in the 1800 Salon; women represented 20% of the artists shown in painting and graphic arts between 1818 and 1877, and close to 30% by the end of the 1890s.[1]
