Paris provided a cosmopolitan environment and the article includes references to women of several nationalities, but gives particular prominence to Scottish women artists as a doubly marginalised group. By considering both their relation to academic training and to the avant-garde, it seeks to explain the comparative obscurity of these first-generation artists and suggests that they often became professionals, but without making the breakthrough to fame.", pages = "327-344(18)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/rwhr/2000/00000009/00000002/art00007" doi = "doi:10.1080/09612020000200249" }
