The "New Woman"
A new feminist ideal that emerged in the late XIX century and had a profound influence on feminism well into the XX century was called the "New Woman". The term was first used by the writer Sarah Grand in her article "The New Aspect of the Woman Question" published in March 1894. Further on, it was popularized by British-American writer Henry James to describe the growth in the number of educated and independent career women in Europe and the United States, pushing the limits, set by patriarchal society. Writers in the 1890s and early 1900s described the "New Woman" as an independent, educated, uninterested in marriage and children young woman, poised to enjoy a more visible and active role in the public arena than women of preceding generations.

Read moreI. The Rise of the Modern Artist
The modern artist defines art as a religion –art for art’s sake– and himself as a non-conformist opposed to the conventions of bourgeois society, although the truth is that art is an essential part of a market in luxury goods for which the bourgeoisie are the only clients. In marked contradiction to this, the life of the artist comes across as bohemian –in other words, someone who identifies with the finges of society. The modern artist comes across as a Gypsy (which in fact was the original meaning of the word ‘bohemian’), drifter or actor in a play featuring fools, visionaries or madmen, beings seemingly possessed, like him, by inspiration.
