Chapter addressing how Victorian women artists sought to define themselves institutionally, how this was reflected in critical commentary, and how these questions have become confused with a putative feminist self-consciousness purportedly challenging 'bourgeois ideology' and 'Victorian patriarchy' as identified by recent feminist commentators. Polemical in challenging such interpretations, and the concomittant tendency to divide Victorian female cultural commentators into 'radical' and 'conservative' camps, the essay re-assesses the significance of Harriet Grote, the Society of Female Artists, the Female School of Art and the problems of assuming the existence of a 'sisterhood' of feminist artists.

Notes: Review: 'One of the main assets of Governing Cultures lies in the sheer amount of new information and insight that it yields about important but often hard-to-research or relatively short-lived (even esoteric) institutions. This is especially true of Duncan Forbes' chapter on the Art Union, Nicholas Tromans' on the British Institution and Stephanie Brown and Sara Dodds's on the Society of Female Artists.' Susan P. Casteras (Professor of art history, University of Washington, USA), Nineteenth Century Studies (USA), 2002.
