Breaking ground (born between 1550 and 1850) -- Pioneers of the avant-garde (born between 1860 and 1899) -- Triumphs and tribulations (born between 1900 and 1925) -- Challenging stereotypes (born between 1926 and 1940 -- Contemporary views (born between 1942 and 1985).
Focusing on fifty diverse women artists, from Lavinia Fontana and Artemisia Gentileschi through Judy Chicago, Ana Mendieta and the Guerrilla Girls to Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman and Louise Bourgeois, this book equips the reader with a general understanding of the history of art by women, as well as an appreciation of its most outstanding figures. Traditionally women have been among art's favoured objects of representation, while their contributions as art producers have been subordinated to those of men. This book documents women artists in context to offer readers an accessible but rich understanding of key female artists from the Baroque to the present day.
