Women artists from the 17th century to the present day will be displayed at Tate Britain when the flagship gallery unveils the first comprehensive rehang of its collections for 10 years in May.

More than 800 works by more than 350 artists will feature at the gallery on the banks of the River Thames, including old favourites, recent discoveries and new commissions.
