In “Painting Women: Gender, Representation, and Artistic Identity,” Wettlaufer will bring to light a rich and nearly forgotten culture of women’s artistic production, allowing us to understand the nineteenth-century in more complex and nuanced ways across the borders of gender, genre, and nation. We invite you to join us for a presentation and question and answer session with reception to follow.

Professor Wettlaufer is a core faculty member of the Comparative Literature, Women’s and Gender Studies and European Studies departments. She is the author of Portraits of the Artist as a Young Woman: Painting and the Novel in France and Britain, 1800-1860.

This talk is sponsored by the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures.
