The New Woman - 100 years of emancipation in high-profile art
De nieuwe vrouw:100 jaar emancipatie in spraakmakende kunst

You might say: Women in the spotlight. This exhibition tries to highlight the position of women who are central to the changing world of emancipation, the changing social positions of women. We can see important painting women and portraits of women with important position in history of emancipation, painted or photographed by male and female artists.
Singer museum says: we can find women with female talent, power, perseverance and beauty.

We are awakened at the beginning of the 20th century. Women demand suffrage, paid work and they are increasingly moving into traditionally 'masculine' fields. Of course the establishment has a lot of criticism, but the woman does not give up.
Of course we are not there yet, there is still a relative lag, if only in remuneration for work, but times have changed. Strong women. That is what Singer wants us to see.
