History
The Glasgow Society of Lady Artists was founded in 1882 by eight students of The Glasgow School of Art. The names of the eight women are often disputed but are thought to include "first president Georgina Mossman Greenlees, Mrs Joseph Agnew, Elizabeth Patrick, Margaret M Campbell, Henrietta Robertson, treasurer Frieda Rohl, Jane Nisbet, Helen Salmon, Jane Cowan Wyper, Margaret Macdonald (not Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh), Isabella Ure and Mrs Provan" (see Wikipedia source below).
The society was formed to promote the study of art, and exhibits on an annual basis.
