An investigation of the increasingly hostile construction of women as subjects, judges, and mainly makers of visual art in eighteenth-century French cultural discourse, this study highlights the close entanglement of visual culture, gender, and politics on the eve of the Revolution. In particular, it explores the manifestations of the rising anti-feminine artistic prejudice against four important eighteenth-century acad?miciennes, Anne Vallayer-Coster, Ad?la?de Labille-Guiard, Anna Dorothea Therbusch, and Elisabeth Vig?e-Lebrun.
