Zusammenfassung:"For centuries, women artists faced relentless discrimination: their talents dismissed as inferior, their presence scorned in a male-dominated profession. Yet, against the odds, they persevered, challenging conventions and carving out their rightful legacy. In this pioneering work, art historian Frances Borzello takes readers deep into the restricted world of women artists of the past, showing how diligently they trained themselves, set up studios, and pursued sympathetic patrons, unveiling the tenacity and ingenuity of women artists throughout history. Tracing the remarkable career journeys of Sofonizba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, Mary Cassat, Marie Bashkirtseff, and many others, each page unveils stories of determination and relentless pursuit of recognition. Visionaries such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, Faith Ringgold, and Lubaina Himid emerged as beacons of change, breaking barriers and reshaping the artistic landscape. This fully revised, updated, and beautifully illustrated edition of Borzello's iconic feminist contribution to art history affirms women artists' enduring legacy, and is poised to inspire a new generation." -- inside cover
