It was difficult for female artists to participate in the early twentieth-century avant-garde owing to traditional prejudices about ‘women’s art’ and hostility from limelight-hogging progressives. Pamela Gerrish-Nunn, curator of the current display Independently Modern, looks at the woman who contributed to the development of British modern painting despite this, and considers their divergent takes on modernity.
