8 March will be a reminder that not all women's rights have been won, not everywhere and not forever. At the moment, Parisian museums are giving pride of place to women in the history of art, from Artemisia Gentileschi to Suzanne Valadon to Chiharu Shiota. We, too, are highlighting the works of our artists who honour the power of women and their attributes that have been sidelined for too long: determination, courage and panache. This is not a man's world!
