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 book celebrates the success of the bold female creators who inspired the world and paved the way for the next generation of artists. Review: Amazing with cute illustration - I have this book as a birthday gift to a friend who loved it! The illustrations are amazing! Review: 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.

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!

Creating our curriculum using these books!
After making the choice to homeschool my daughter in this 2020-21 school year, I quickly decided to embrace a women's studies approach. I am using all of the books by this author to help engage my 5th grader and introduce new stories to her. She hasn't yet seen the struggle of women to make their place in the world (or at least be acknowledged for it). As wonderful as that is, I want her to understand the growth that has happened and that still needs to continue. We read through a woman a day and do some brief further study (in this case that usually means searching out their artwork). When we find someone that really sparks her interest, we tackle a more in depth study of the woman, her life, her art, and her journey. I love all the books by this author!

Cute Book
Got this for my teenage daughter who is super creative and artistic. It’s a nice way for her to see how women have influenced culture and art. She was very thankful when I gave it to her on Christmas. Have not read it myself but from what I skimmed it is very cute. It’s about the size of copier paper and a bit thinner than I anticipated. However good buy for its intended purpose as a gift for an aspiring artist.

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

Beautiful book
This is a very lovely book for children to discover new female artists… As well as for adults, too! I personally didn’t 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 it’s very short, but it still gives a lot of great information! The illustrations are stunning.
