Historically, major women artists have been excluded from the mainstream
art canon. Aligned with the resurgence of feminism in pop culture,
Broad Strokes offers an entertaining corrective to that omission. Art
historian Bridget Quinn delves into the lives and careers of 15
brilliant female artists in text that's smart, feisty, educational, and
an enjoyable read. Replete with beautiful reproductions of the artists'
works and contemporary portraits of each artist by renowned illustrator
Lisa Congdon, this is art history from 1600 to the present day for the
modern art lover, reader, and feminist.
