Item Description
First Book about WOMEN ARTISTS -
Recognition and Reappraisal From the Early Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century by Karen Petersen & J.J. Wilson
*This is a very special revolutionary classic - now out of print.
"This is the first book written about women artists. Until the time of this publication, women artists were only footnotes in books about Art History. This book is a reminder of the incredible importance of Women's Studies and the amazing women who pioneered it. I know this story because I was there
In the early 1970s, Dr. J.J. Wilson taught a Women's Studies class at Sonoma State on the history of women philosophers. One of her students, Karen Petersen, asked if there had been any women artists. Their research and discovery resulted in this book as well as four full-color comprehensive slide presentations published by Harper and Row Media, recognizing remarkable women artists from the early Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century."
Molly Murphy MacGregor,
Cofounder of the NWHA and J.J. Wilson's student.
From the authors
"Our book seeks to stimulate general reconsideration of assumptions in art history. People can no longer afford to ignore the historical and present achievements of over half the population, achievements being painstakingly reconstructed through the labor of feminist scholars in all the academic disciplines: art, music, literature, history, science, and philosophy."
Paper, 212 pages, Harper and Row, 1976
