About this listen

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 this smart, feisty, educational, and enjoyable book.

This is art history from 1600 to the present day for the modern art lover and feminist.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Superbly read and enthralling despite most names being of women artists I had not heard of. Surprisingly it is not necessary to Google the works described which are found in the hard copy but I will certainly look to buy it in this form. Utterly absorbing, scholarly but never dry. The author weaves biographical details of the artists with the works they produced illuminated by her own personal discovery and experience of them. If you love art and are open to women artists you may never have seen or heard of you can’t fail to be fascinated by this superb work.
