A collection of charmingly illustrated and inspiring profiles of fifty pioneering female artists, from the eleventh century to today—by the New York Times bestselling author of Women in Science
“A beautifully illustrated, fact-filled breath of fresh air! Countless women have been left out of art history, but thanks to gorgeous books like this, future generations will begin to know their stories.”—Danielle Krysa, founder of The Jealous Curator
Women make masterpieces! Through fifty fascinating profiles, Women in Art highlights the achievements and stories of fifty notable women in the arts—from well-known figures like painters Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keefe, to lesser-known names like nineteenth-century African American quilter Harriet Powers and Hopi-Tewa ceramic artist Nampeyo.
Covering a wide array of artistic mediums, Women in Art also contains infographics about artistic movements throughout history, statistics about women’s representation in museums, and notable works by women. This fascinating bookcelebrates the success of the bold female creators who inspired the world and paved the way for the next generation of artists.

Cute and informative
I have a teenage daughter and I bought this because we are both into art. Itâs fun to read and interesting to learn more about women in history. (And refreshing!) Entertaining and a fun little read even for adults.

Inspiring and beautifully illustrated!
I would like to start this review by mentioning that this is our very first book by Rachel Ignotofsky. And it will definitely not be our last. If you buy only one book this year, let this be it. It is full of stories about women of the past that have changed the world in a very unique way through their art. Their biographies are written in an inviting way, with a good balance between facts and story. They encourage and inspire the reader with each page. Things that caught my eye:* The book shows women of all different countries, cultures and religions* The illustrations are gorgeous and really make this book stunning* Many extra resources and recommendations included in the back* Would recommend for ages 6- 99* Makes a great gift/excellent coffee table book!

Excellent
I was a little worried to get this based on reviews of font size being too small but I personally do not see the issue. The font size is smaller and I sometimes have vision issues or headaches but this book is completely fine for me to read with no issues. I think all the reviews complaining about the font size are just people who like to complain about everything. Book is colorful, educational, and fun. Got it for a 5 year old for homeschool but I think it is for a little bit older kids, ages 8-10. But my 5 year old still loves it. Will be getting the Women in Science book soon. Perfect book for homeschool and for showing women can do/be anything.

I bought the puzzle and loved it so much it got me interested in the book. It is really nice and I like her art work. One page written and one picture per artist. I like this author/artist and looking at other puzzles and books from same. Nice coffee table book that I am thinking of getting for nieces as well.

Women in Art
Great gift ideas for someone who loves to read, learn, and enjoys everything about art.

Beautifully Illustrated!
I used this book as a resource for an online class I was teaching about Women Artists…it has some excellent biographical information and covers a wide range of artists, including (not surprisingly) many unfamiliar artists. Was pleased to see Mary Blair and Ruth Asawa included. The illustrations are magnificently done. This would make an excellent addition to any art lover’s library or a wonderful gift for a budding artist just learning about artists and their impact on the world.

This is a very lovely book for children to discover new female artists⦠As well as for adults, too! I personally didnât know most of them, so I definitely learnt from this book.The text that comes with each woman who is presented is only one page long, so itâs very short, but it still gives a lot of great information!The illustrations are stunning.
