Society of Modern Women Artists

The Society of Modern Women Artists (La Société des femmes artistes modernes, FAM) was created in Paris in 1930 as an association for modern women artists. They organized an annual salon from 1931 to 1938. Through these exhibitions they showed modern works of art by French and international women artists, to establish the presence of women in art and to gain recognition from the general public. FAM's exhibitions are considered "a significant force towards putting women artists on a more equal footing" with male artists in France.
