Description:
A new edition of one of the first books to focus on the world of women artists and their practice.




Women have always practised as artists, but for centuries the art world considered them mere dilettantes. Their work was derided as second-rate and they were considered intruders in a male profession. This study examines how, against the odds, they overcame these difficulties and shifts the focus away from women artists as 'victims' to give an account of how they actually practised their art.

Frances Borzello takes readers deep into the restricted world of women artists of the past, showing how diligently they trained themselves, set up studios, and pursued sympathetic patrons.
