Editorial Reviews
Review
20th century female artists' self-portraiture is explored in a fine guide which packs in over forty black and white illustrations of works by Frida Kahlo, Alice Neel, Susan Hiller, and others. The depth of this work lies not in its peppering of self portraits, however, but in its blend of feminist theory and critical insights on the various forms employed by women in the art of self-portraiture. -- Midwest Book Review
