The history of art without men

The History of Art Without Men , written by British art historian Katy Hessel.

___

The history of women's art is a rich and fascinating story that belongs in the art historical canon on an equal footing with male artists. But for far too long, women have been left out. Art historian Katy Hessel now addresses this in this book, which takes the reader on a journey through the greatest and most important works in the history of art – without men.

This book tells the story of some very special women in the world of art. They are the most important female artists from the Renaissance and 19th-century America, the Dutch Golden Age and post-war Latin America. It is the story of how women broke with the norms, entered the art academies and helped shape the world of art.
