Bringing together 40 female artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, Women House "is the meeting of two notions: a gender - the female - and a space - the domestic one. Architecture and public space have been masculine while the domestic space was for a long time the prison or the shelter of women: this historical evidence is nevertheless not a fatality and the exhibition Women House shows this."
Women House is a traveling exhibition. After Paris, the exhibition will be on display at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C.
