Explore femininity as reflected in the arts, on the canvas and behind it.

View how Shady Ladies’ themes – beauty, fashion and power – chanced throughout the years and get a closer look on individual women who left their mark on society via art, including mistreated prostitutes, mistresses and courtesans who made it to the top, and artists like Mary Cassatt who changed the perspective of how women really live.
