In the exhibition program of the Paul Cassirer Art and Publishing House, female artists were significantly underrepresented compared to their male counterparts. While some are now considered part of the established canon of art history—including Berthe Morisot, Käthe Kollwitz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Gabriele Münter—many others are scarcely known today or have been completely forgotten.
