Welcome to Female Arts

Women are not equally represented in the arts and in business – this ranges from a lack of roles for women over 40 on TV and in theatre, to a glass ceiling for senior roles in business, to unequal pay. Female Arts promote women in interviews, reviews and news to redress this gender imbalance. We're interested in the performing, visual and literary arts including theatre, exhibitions, film, literature, comedy, music, women in business, in the UK and beyond.
