The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood: an index of its members

This article acts as the table of contents and index for my series on women in Pre-Raphaelite painting. Its formal introduction sets the stage and explains the purpose of the series, as well as providing a brief overview.

Below is a list of all the women painters covered in the series. Their main entries are given by their original surname; those who married also have a reference under their married name to help you locate them. Although I would love to have shown examples of each of their work here, for the sake of brevity I only include major paintings which are accessible today.

This series also surveys some of the many women who were muses to and models for the male Pre-Raphaelite artists. These are discussed, with paintings of most of them, in the following two articles:

I hope that I have made my point that women were every bit as important as the men of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Let’s not exclude either, please.
