About this title: This groundbreaking book challenges the assumption that great women artists are exceptions to the rule who 'transcended' their sex to produce major works of art. While acknowledging the many women whose contributions to visual culture since the Middle Ages have often been neglected, Chadwick's survey amounts to much more than an alternative canon of women artists: it re-examines the works themselves and the ways in which they have been perceived as marginal, often in direct reference to gender. In her discussion of feminism and its influence on such a reappraisal, the author also addresses ...

"i'm taking a women in art class and this is the text. I probably wouldn't read it on my own as it is dense and full of art history jargon. But its great to have as a reference book."
"At times a fairly overwhemling survey: it covers art from the middle ages up to 2006. While highlighting some of the more widely recognized women artists over the ages (Sofonisba, Gentileschi, Niki de Saint Phalle, Nanci Spero, Cindy Sherman, etc) it does also highlight others -- including a range of artists active in non-western countries, artists identifying as lesbian/not-straight, and women of color (Mine Okubo, Yayoi Kusama, Kimsooja, Lee Bul, Shirin Neshat, etc).
Artist histories interspersed with critical feminist theory -- a whirlwind art history book that I found myself able to read without losing interest."
"Ahh, Dr. Kontars Class. She is a woman who continuing calm made the study of this subject so interesting. She did her homework and if not knowledgeable on a subject would comeback to class with information. She often had information to give that was not in the book.
I know I am supposed to commenting on the book, so is was definitely added to my knowledge of women in art history. Though I am glad I read it at the end of my college career in which I had study many semesters of art history. So that the normal history facts were already know, and what is not normally mentioned in art history stood out."
"This book is a college classic, but it really just gives an overview. A good place to start for research, but expect cursory attention given to all but the biggest names."
