Description

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?

Have your sense of art history overturned, and your eyes opened to many art forms often overlooked or dismissed..

A spirited, inspiring, brilliantly illustrated history of female artistic endeavour…The Story of Art Without Men should be on the reading list of every A-level and university art history course and on the front table of every museum and gallery shop’ – Laura Freeman, The Times

A long overdue, revisionist history of art by the brilliant Katy Hessel…never stuffy or supercilious, Hessel’s book is a revelation and an important first step towards redressing the balance of an art world in which women have been sidelined, stepped over and trampled upon for far too long’ – Refinery29

An extraordinary achievement that will have a disruptive cultural legacy and help deter­mine the landscape for years to come’ – Harper’s Bazaar

Katy Hessel is a brilliant chronicler of the overlooked. I am so thrilled this book exists as an empowering, enlightening guide to the unforgettable vision of these brilliant artists. Essential reading’ – Elizabeth Day

Will change the history of art…thank God’ – Tracey Emin

‘I was not aware how hungry I was for this book until I dropped everything and ate it from cover to cover. I was not aware how angry I was that this book did not exist until it existed. It’s an urgently needed, un-put-downable, joyful, insightful, glorious, perspective-shifting revision of the Story of Art’ – Es Devlin
