Hutchinson Heinemann The Story of Art without Men

Katy Hessel's The Story of Art without Men is in equal parts enjoyable as it is essential reading. She writes in an accessible style with easy to follow accounts of so many artists that I'd never heard of and am so glad to know now. It is a triumph with so many beautiful pictures and invaluable content including a much needed timeline at the back charting all the different movements and artists from throughout the world and the history of art. I cannot recommend this book enough, I wish it had existed when when I was studying art history but I'm even more pleased it exists now. 10/10. Five stars. Best ever.

Wow! Such an incredible, important and well-told journey through the history of art with women at the heart of it. I enjoyed every page and every image, and learnt so much!

A history of art that includes women. About time too. Thank you Katy. Essential reading for anyone interested in art.

I have only skimmed through it and it looks so interesting Cant wait to read it.

Essential reference for women’s art
