While graffiti has historically been considered a male-dominated art form,[1] women have contributed to graffiti since its inception, with some theorising that early cave wall art was primarily drawn by women.[2] The earliest female contemporary graffiti artists include Eva 62 and Barbara 62, followed by Lady Pink, who began painting New York City subway trains as early as 1979.[3] Notable examples of female graffiti artists include Claw Money, Lady Pink, Swoon, Shamsia Hassani, and Miss Van.
