Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order) (Gifts for Artists, Inspirational Books, Gifts for Creatives) by Bridget Quinn

5.0

I loved this book. I too noticed the lack of female artists in my art history textbook (which I still have, nerdy, I know). The author does a great job of highlighting women artists from all different time periods and genres. The author provided backstory of the artist's lives and descriptions and analysis of several works. Her writing style was approachable for both those well versed in the art world and those with a passing interest in art - and it has quite a bit of humor in it! I will definitely look further into some of the artists she discussed.
