I was not aware how hungry I was for this book until I dropped
everything and ate it from cover to cover. I was not aware how
angry I was that this book did not exist until it existed. It's an
urgently needed, un-put-downable, joyful, insightful, glorious,
perspective-shifting revision of the Story of Art.
*Es Devlin*
A book for every aspiring art historian - whatever their sex
*The Times*
A long overdue, revisionist history of art by the brilliant Katy
Hessel ... Never stuffy or supercilious, Hessel's book is a
revelation and an important first step towards redressing the
balance of an art world in which women have been sidelined, stepped
over and trampled upon for far too long
*Refinery29*
An extraordinary achievement that will have a disruptive cultural
legacy and help determine the landscape for years to come.
*Harper's Bazaar*
Well-researched and enlightening
*Daily Express*
Unapologetically revisionist
*Financial Times*
