March is Women's History Month – a time to celebrate the contributions made by remarkable women in history and contemporary society. Throughout the month, we're shining a spotlight on the popular and the overlooked female artists, all of whom deserve greater recognition. From Anne Seymour Damer (the 'Sappho' of sculpture) to brilliant Baroque icon Artemisia Gentileschi and from the female Pre-Raphaelites to women who paint women, get to know these extraordinary female artists.
