| Book Description | WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'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.'

Essential reading.' ELIZABETH DAY'Will change the history of art . . . thank God.' TRACEY EMIN'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.
