Throughout history in the Western world, women have struggled to have their viewpoints acknowledged and respected. Women artists have struggled to be seen in what is predominantly a men’s field, even today. After many generations women were beginning to have their viewpoints recognized in all areas of life. We are again at a difficult place, as it seems we are fighting for recognition and rights again. 

 Do women see things differently from men? How do we interpret what we see in the world? What do we want to be seen? What do we most want to show the world? This theme is intentionally open to encourage every woman artist to put in her best work.
