The Exhibition by 31 Women, held between 5 and 31 January 1943, was the first documented exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to women artists. It was one of the first exhibitions organised by Peggy Guggenheim at her Art of This Century gallery in New York City, which was already becoming known as a center of activities for struggling young artists. Exhibitions confusingly showed both the works of these artists and pieces from the collection of Guggenheim, built up in Europe in the days before World War Two.
