Sisters, Sirens and Saints: Imagining the Women of Beatrice Offor

Beatrice Offor was amongst the first women at The Slade. Once popular, like many others she is overlooked in history.

Beatrice Offor (1864 - 1920) was one of the first women who trained at The Slade and was a popular artist in her day - although, like many other women artists, she is overlooked in art history.
