All-women exhibitions appeared together with the professionalisation of women's artistic practices in the mid-19th century and they are organised until today.

The objective of the "History of Women's Art Exhibitions in Poland" project was twofold. The first goal was to gather information and extensive archival materials related to all exhibitions of this kind that have been organised in Poland. The second objective consisted in conducting an analysis in order to answer the following question: Why were all-women exhibitions organised then and continue to be organised today and how do they relate to the changing position of women in society and of female artists in the world of art?

The project was carried out at the Institute of Art History at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in the years 2014-2017. It was financed by the National Science Centre.
