Summary/Abstract: Among the obstacles professional women artists faced in the late 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century, perhaps the most difficult to overcome were preju-dices about the relationship between gender and creativity. Stereotypically, women were seen as incapable of artistic work, and any piece of art they created had to have a masculine element to be taken seriously. This way of thinking was echoed in many critical texts, even in those that were favorable in tone. This article collects a number of examples that allows one to trace how the gender of women artists affected the reception of their work.
