Discover Women Artists from Tudor times to the First World War, such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Butler and Laura Knight.
Find out how they challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.
Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs.
The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.
Tate Britain's step-free entrance is on Atterbury Street. It has automatic sliding doors and there is a ramp down to the entrance with central handrails.
The artwork is located on the North Stairs, near the step-free entrance on Atterbury Street.
There is a lift between the Lower and Main floors near the staircase. Alternatively you can take the stairs. There are 37 steps. On the Lower floor, the staircase is accessible via an open entrance-way.
The artwork can be viewed from both the top of the staircase (on the Main floor) and the bottom of the staircase (on the Lower floor), although it is recommended to view from the top.
On exiting the lift on the Main floor, the staircase is accessible via power-assisted double doors. Through the doors there is a walled viewing area adjacent to the steps.
Large print text and printed visuals of the artwork are available to borrow.
