Modernism is unimaginable without the contribution of women artists. Not only well-known women painters and sculptors such as Louise Breslau, Ottilie W. Roederstein, and Marg Moll, but also many others successfully established themselves in the art world during the period around 1900. The Städel Museum is dedicating a major exhibition to these artists for the first time.

From the perspective of their networks, a complex picture of women artists’ training and working circumstances in the modernist era emerges. In the film, the curatorial team provides insights into the struggles of the pioneers in 1880s Paris, introduces the first female sculptors at the Städelschule (Städel art school) around 1900 and tells of a young, self-determined generation of female artists in the New Frankfurt of the 1920s and 1930s.
