AB - Some female artists who worked in the late 19th Century to the early 20th Century England and America made a self narrative on their art life and achievement by the form of ‘autobiography’ in the 1920s. The purpose of this paper is to examine the autobiographies written by five female artists, Elizabeth Thompson Butler, Louise Jopling, Anna Lea Merritt, Janet Scudder, and Cecilia Beaux. Focusing on the narrative structure, narrative method, and narrative theme, I found that not all the autobiographies followed narrative method of women’s autobiography, which is composed of letters or diaries. Although they had similar chronological narrative structure of men’s autobiography. The common themes of autobiographies were the childhood experiences of artistic talent, the courses and curricula of art education, and their professional career and accomplishment. Examining the common themes, I realized that financial ability to afford art education and to gain recognition from male artists and art institutions played a more important role than to give women art education equal to men or stress their personal effort. In the age of Modernism, female artists tried to reconstruct their artistic life and careers following the model of male artists, and to the judge with the phallocentric standards based on the past Academism.
