Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order) by Bridget Quinn

Aug 19

This book is a good overview about phenomenal artists and spans a wide range of years in art history, from 1600 to present day. There’s something for everyone. Each chapter is devoted to a short but detailed and thorough narrative about the artist and their lives. Some of the artists included were Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyster, Rosa Bonheur, and more.

Overall, I’d recommend this book. It is a very important part of art history. I enjoyed learning about their fascinating and sometimes difficult journeys. There have been many skilled and talented artists, many of whom are included in this book, and they are sadly under-represented.
