ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI:
In a time when women were barred from participating in the artistic community, Artemisia Gentileschi became a masterful Baroque painter under her father's tutelage, and is regarded as one of the most accomplished painters of her time, though few still know of her. Her most famous painting, "Judith Slaying Holofernes", is regarded as a masterpiece. Aside from her career as one of the most expressive painters of the 1600s, she is also noted as being one of the first women in recorded history who came forth and publicly prosecuted her rapist - and won.
