by
The conventional history of art is one of great men making great paintings, and displaying their works to a predominantly male audience in male-run institutions. Women, however, have had a role, often working behind the scenes, out of sight or in resistance to prevailing attitudes and practices.

Loved the stories of some of these pieces. Makes me want to further look at some of these women’s art in person!
Danger! Women Artists at Work, by Debra Mancoff, celebrates the work of female artists in an era when patrons were slow to show full respect for their work. Although the business of art has long been a male-dominated industry, great art needn’t suffer a gender divide. There are fabulous woman artists, and this full-color, hardcover book shows them at their finest, with the art and artist portrayed side-by-side. This is the perfect holiday gift for any casual or serious art lover.
