If you can get hold of a copy of this book it makes for very interesting reading.

Germaine Greer wrote a book called
The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work,
which was published in 1979. This work details the life and experiences of female painters until the end of the nineteenth century. It also speculates on the existence of women artists whose careers are not recorded by posterity.

I have been signing all my work with my initial and last name for years. I also don't use my photo in advertising blurb. May be paranoid, after all the last Archibald winner in Australia was a woman who painted herself with her two children.
