Publisher's Summary

The story of art as it's never been told before, from the Renaissance to the present day.

How many women artists do you know? Who makes art history? Did women even work as artists before the twentieth century? And what is the Baroque anyway?

Guided by Katy Hessel, art historian and founder of @thegreatwomenartists, discover the glittering paintings by Sofonisba Anguissola of the Renaissance, the radical work of Harriet Powers in the nineteenth-century United States, and the artist who really invented the "readymade." Explore the Dutch Golden Age, the astonishing work of postwar artists in Latin America, and the women defining art in the 2020s. Have your sense of art history overturned and your eyes opened to many artforms often ignored or dismissed. From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan, this is the history of art as it's never been told before.

Buy the hard copy!

So disappointing. This excellent book promises, 7 minutes in, that you can view a pdf of the artworks described in the book, but no such pdf exists. Ridiculous! And pointless to listen when you cannot view the works. Forget the audiobook. The hard copy is invaluable though, and creates a fulfilling experience for readers. Hessel is brilliant and this book should be required reading for anyone interested in art, history, culture and the long-overlooked female artists of the past and present.
