Exist prejudices concerning women's artists and female professionals Working in Culture, Art, Music and Society?

Our society is predominant male orientation, even in industrial societies women social and economic roles are not completed recognised, i.e low salaries, not enough health-care or working protection against accidents, and employee abuses.

LACCS-UK Women Series attempts to contribute to enhancing the role of women in a modern society, focussing our attention on studies in any field of Culture, including Music and Arts. Why do we select Culture as the central topics in our forum?

Listening and comparing experiences of successful professional women in Music, Art and Society we will be able to create a continuum of cases which will be our proposition to analyse each case as part of their own historical and cultural background and explore how each of them sort themselves out of the prejudiced social environment.

Our women sample, was selected at random, considering only their successful profile as winners in a diary challenge to survive and to contribute with their intellect and talent to their national and international culture in their respective areas of knowledge and skills.

LACCS-UK project attempt to create a platform which will exhibit a series of women's successes cases, with its challenges and limitations caused by endogenous social factors, i.e. countries social legislations, non-existence of a democratic education system, pertinence to a specific social class. i.e. middle and elites, in disadvantage to the lower social status, etc. Finally, we will discover the real truth about how today in a modern and industrial society, women starting to build their own cultural profile as a social phenomenon as a winner of social status and prestige even better than men in the humble beginning of the capitalist society.
