1.0 out of 5 stars The book is a simple introduction to the subject., June 19, 1998
By A Customer
Wendy Slatkin has produced an introduction to a subject which deserves a more indepth study. She offers a outline of women artists and their work that is, however, suitable for a beginning class of Art History students. It crys out for a broader scope and more detailed research, particularily in the area of 20th Century artists. It is, in this sense, an inspirational 'textbook'.

5.0 out of 5 stars everybody should know about women artists - this is a good start!, December 16, 2008
By K. B. Haanappel "Karin" (Netherlands - Europa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Women Artists in History - as everybody probably knows History means His Story! The question Linda Nochlin asked in the seventies "Why have there been no great women artists" is because Art History has been written from male perspective. But indeed there were and are women artists.........
Most books about Art History (Janson - Honour & Fleming - Gombrich) don't mention women at all or give them a small place. THis book is all about women artists and gives a good chronological view about their efforts. I think it's an interesting book for everybody - those who are trained as Art Historians in the tradtional way (without much attention for the women) and those who like te know more about Art History in general.
This book tells about the women artists from antiquity to the present and that is a very interesting point of view, most other books start in the Renaissance. But in Antiquity, more specific Prehistory it was a Motherworld, in the Renaissance it is (as today) a Fatherworld. So it's good to see the social change from Motherworld to Fatherworld and the effects in the Arts.....
Last point I'd like to mention about this book is the booklist after each chapter, very useful!
I myself am an Art History theacher in the Netherlands and use this book in my classes (Basic Art History) besides Gombrich's "The Story of Art".
