Description
If men and women are equally capable of genius, why have there been no female artists of the stature of Leonardo, Titian or Poussin? In seeking to answer this question, Germaine Greer introduces us to major but underestimated figures in the history of Western painting--Angelica Kauffmann, Natalia Goncharova, Suzanne Valadon, Berthe Morisot, Kathe Köllwitz--and produces a brilliantly incisive and richly illustrated study. She explains the obstacles as both external and surmountable andinternal and insurmountable in the race for achievement.

If you haven't got a clue about women who were artists: okay, this might be a start. But poor methodology, poor research and poor reasoning. The book is rubbish.
