Many museums, like the National Museum of African Art and the National Museum of Asian Art, were constructed for the sole purpose of displaying underrepresented artists in the United States, but those pieces are rarely featured in well-known museums. Feminist artists and people of color (POC) often inspire others through their expressive creations. At the Smithsonian American Art Museum, a diverse amount of cultures and feminist art can be found, including this one, which was located in the museums Feminist Exhibit. “I’ve always been more into female artists because I recognized how, in my life, a lot of the teachers are male or the art I [studied] was always white male art,” art history teacher Terilynn Thomas said. “It was interesting how the females are always the add-on or the tail end of white American or European artists.”
