The title makes reference to The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pizan from 1405. Some scholars believe it to be the first work of feminist literature. The book is centered upon de Pizan’s vision of a metaphorical city of ladies in which women were equal to men. This exhibition features 33 women artists from the state of New Mexico. One of the exhibition’s goals is to bolster public awareness of New Mexico Women in the Arts along with the work they are doing to uplift female artists.
