Concise Dictionary Of Women Artists

The Concise Dictionary of Women Artists includes 200 complete entries on individuals from the award-winning main dictionary. It features the best-known artists from the Middle Ages to the present, as well as significant but less well known artists from all periods and working in various media: painters, sculptors, printmakers, textile artists and photographers. Also included are the most broad-ranging of the introductory surveys from the main volume. These essays place the work of the individual artists in national, aesthetic and gender contexts, and were much praised by reviewers of the original volumes. In addition there are 32 pages of illustrations of the artists' works.
