WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'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

一本买不了吃亏买不了上当,不管搞不搞学术,搞不搞艺术,搞不搞女性主义,家中都可可常备一本,且代代传承的参考工具用书。平铺直叙了16世纪到2020s的西方女性艺术家,用笔主要在艺术家创作的时代背景和作品的主题/特色,没有特别深刻的见解,也没有新的方法论,所以也就没什么学究气,非专业读者也十万分友好。学者可以搞研究时当索引用,非学者可以快速入门系统了解16世纪至今的西方女性艺术。
