challenges female artist face in the art world.

The art world is a competitive market and it is run by men for centuries. When I think of art I  think of great male painters like Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci etc. women may think it is very difficult to be successful in the art world because of stereotypes. Women face challenges by not having connects in the art world. In this world, people perceive to think that men are better . Current groups in society today perceive women as weak, but that has been developed for many years. To understand today's view on society, you must understand the history when women had to fight to vote. We grown up in a male dominant society. Although society has begun to change, we still have a long way to go to see women be treated equal. Women face the same obstacles in their professional lives, whether it’s art or medicine or law.

The Guerrilla Girls, are a  group of feminist activist artists, theses females  wear gorilla mask in public and use politics, art, film, and pop culture. The guerrilla girls states” We believe in an intersectional feminism that fights discrimination and supports human rights for all people and all genders.” Even in today's work force women get paid less than their male counterparts. Female artist in the art world may find it difficult to break into a market that is dominantly run by men. Women face lack of confidence because, they cannot compete with the standard of work out there.  Are women less important to our society than men? Female artist had to hide their identity in the old days, because if you were a female you would not be published. As of today, it should be success when women at all levels can achieve economic parity with male artists.
