00:03 This exhibition charts the road that women artists over 400
00:20 years have been on, acting as professionals in a society that
00:24 didn't expect that of them.
00:26 They were constantly told that they couldn't and shouldn't.
00:29 And I think in every single room of this exhibition,
00:31 you have women who are proving the precise opposite.
00:34 They dared, and they were determined,
00:36 and they were brilliant, and forged successful careers.

00:42 We have 110 women artists in this show,
00:56 spanning 400 years, 238 works.
01:00 And we still don't cover all the women
01:02 who were working as professionals
01:06 in that time span.
01:07 I think the big takeaway is just how many women artists there
01:11 were.
01:11 I think that even specialists coming to this exhibition
01:15 will walk away having discovered a new name that they'd never
01:18 heard of before.
