Heller, Ph.D., is a professor of humanities at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and an art historian whose work focuses on women's art. The recipient of several awards and honors, she is the author of Women Artists: An Illustrated History, which has been published in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France. She lives in Philadelphia. Founded in 1981, the National Museum of Women in the Arts acknowledges and celebrates women's diverse artistic achievements over the centuries. The museum was established to challenge traditional histories of art, to uncover the works of women artists who have been overlooked and unacknowledged, and to ensure the place of women in contemporary art. Since 1987, when the museum opened in downtown Washington, D.C., it has presented more than 140 exhibitions of art made by women. The permanent collection contains approximately 2,600 works from the sixteenth century to the present created by almost seven hundred artists. The women's museum also offers extensive education programs in the visual arts, literature, music, and film. To foster recognition of women artists in their home states, the museum has established state committees that sponsor events and organize exhibitions in local museums and art galleries. Since 1984 nearly two hundred thousand people have joined as members to support the museum and its mission, and nearly one million visited during its first decade.
