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

___

Women's art history is a rich and fascinating story that belongs in the art historical canon on an equal footing with the male artists. But for far too long, women have been left out. Art historian Katy Hessel now tackles that 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 about some very special women in the world of art. These are the most important female artists from the Renaissance and 19th century USA, the Dutch Golden Age and post-war Latin America. It is the story of how the women broke with the norms, entered the art academies and helped shape the world of art.
