Every year, March 8 is recognized as International Women’s Day. 91ÑÇÉ« President & Vice-Chancellor Rhonda Lenton and Vice President, Equity, People & Culture Sheila Cote-Meek beautifully addressed this year’s theme of #BreakTheBias in their earlier this week. This year, before we look back at some of our noteworthy pieces highlighting the accomplishments and continued struggles of women artists and innovators, and in light of the ongoing atrocities in Ukraine, we wish to briefly acknowledge the historic struggles of Ukrainian women artists.

In Ukraine, as in many other places, . This lack of recognition stems from many sources: women encouraged to focus on marrying rich instead of studying art, gender prejudices in early art schools, and women’s contributions overlooked when collaborating with male counterparts, to name a few. Today’s landscape has evolved a fair bit, as many previously ignored talents are moving into the light.ÌýFor more information about this history, read .Ìý
