MONTEIRO, Ilda. Paradigm of Gender Inequality in Contemporary Art: The artistic process and the “supposed differentiation”. Revista Convergências [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.43-58.  Epub 31-Nov-2021. ISSN 2184-0180.  https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.28.83.

This investigation is submitted to a study of the literature review of a theoretical nature, through which the generalized description of the theme is made. In a more restricted way, the assumptions and strategies were analyzed, in face of gender inequality, in the field of arts that have been a reality in western societies since its origin. Over the centuries it has also been a point of discussion and struggle in society, however it was only in the second half of the twentieth century (during the second wave of feminism) that the issue of discrimination against women gained visibility in the public, leading to profound changes in social paradigms. The art world was not immune to these changes, having been profoundly affected by feminism and the way it expressed itself in terms of the production of artistic theory as well as the impact that feminism had in the art world and in the change of the subordinate position, that the woman artist has had in her. This study intends to offer a general and current panorama that allows a reflection on the discrimination of the female artist and how it can be fought.
