Discover the untold stories of art through the women who shaped its history!

The Story of Art without Men takes you on a fascinating journey through art history that highlights the vital yet often overlooked contributions of women artists. If you want a genuinely plural view of art and to broaden your understanding, this book is made for you.

The book asks fundamental questions: How many women artists do we really know? Who writes art history? Did women even work as artists before the twentieth century? And what does the Baroque actually mean? You will find answers in detailed portraits of striking figures - from the Renaissance Sofonisba Anguissola, through the radical Harriet Powers of the nineteenth century, to the creators who define the art scene of the 21st century.

You will explore a wide range of artistic styles and geographic regions - from the Dutch Golden Age, through Latin America, to Japan. This book will not only expand your idea of art history but also fundamentally rethink it and make it more inclusive.
