IntroductionArt is more than just prettyâ€”itâ€spowerful! Everything around us, whether you realize it or not, has been touched by an artist. Thebuilding you live in, that billboard on the street, the pattern on your shirtâ€”all started as conceptsin an artistâ€s mind. Many think that our ability to express ourselves creatively is what makeshumans special. Both men and women have been creating art since the cave paintings ofprehistoric times. Yet throughout history, women have been excluded from the story ofhumanityâ€s creative expression. The women in this book had to fight sexism, classism, andracism to have their art be seen, taken seriously, and appreciated. Through their struggle to beseen, their art has made history.Art informs our culture and either confirms or challenges ourexpectations of what we consider normal. Throughout history, powerful institutions all over theworld have employed artists to make sure their story was told properly. Whether it was royaltyspending a fortune during the Renaissance to make sure paintings depicted them perfectly, ormajor corporations today spending millions of dollars on advertisements to sell their products, artis a tool wielded to get a clear message across to the masses.Â What happens when people takethe power of art back?

Duringthe height of segregation in America, many artists, including Elizabeth Catlett, were denied entryinto universities due to racist policies. But Elizabeth was determined to make art that celebratedblack people, and she portrayed them with beauty and strength. Today, her art depicting blackleaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Harriet Tubman has been shown in museums aroundthe world.Â Art exposes truths and tells our shared history. When the Allied invasion of Europecame in 1944, artist Lee Miller was the only female photographer on the front line. She was one ofthe first photographers to document the horrors of the Holocaust. When many denied that theconcentration camps were real, Leeâ€s photographs forced the world to confront the truth.Art
