Woman Sculpture

Women have worked as competent sculptors since the nineteenth century. Harriet Hosmer, a sculptor living in Rome, founded the very first "school" of female sculptors. Hosmer, Edmonia Lewis, Emma Stebbins, and several learned and built workshops in Italy, availing the opportunity of the plentiful availability of white statuary marble and connection to experienced carvers and artisans. These painters worked on their sculptures and minor contracts in the prevalent Neoclassical era. They forged a new path with their solitary living and focused on professional life over family.

A fresh generation of female sculptors arose during the 1880s, considerably more extensive and diversified than their expatriates before. They could attend American institutions like the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League in New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the Art Institute of Chicago for structured training. Female sculptors, too, were drawn to Paris by its allure, learning and showing in the world's art centers at the time. Back then females were not allowed to participate in the prestigious state-run École des Beaux-Arts before 1897, but they attended lessons at some other prestigious institutions like the Académie Julian. Prominent sculptors typically employed women as studio aides, giving them further instruction in the fundamentals of sculpting, enlargement, and casting.
