**About the book:**(https://bookshop.org/a/7125/9781538170991)
How many female artists can you name? Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marina
Abramovic? How about female artists who lived prior to the Modern era? Maybe
Artemisia Gentileschi and then… even a regular museum-goer might run out of
steam. What about female curators, critics, patrons, collectors, muses, models
and art influencers? This book provides a 360 degree look at the role,
influence, and empowerment of women through art–including women artists, but
going beyond those who have taken up a brush or a chisel. In 1971, Linda
Nochlin published a famous essay, “Why Have There Been No Great Women
Artists?” This book responds to it by showing that not only have there been
scores of great women artists throughout history, but that great women have
shaped the story of art. The result is a book that sheds light on the art
world in a very new way, finally celebrating the great women artists and
influencers who deserve to be much better known. The entire history of art can
be told as a herstory of art.

**About the author:** Noah Charney is the internationally best-selling author
of more than a dozen books, most recently, The Devil in the Gallery: How
Scandal, Shock, and Rivalry Shaped the Art World, and including The Collector
of Lives: Giorgio Vasari and the Invention of Art, which was nominated for the
2017 Pulitzer Prize in Biography. He is a professor of art history
specializing in art crime, and has taught for Yale University, Brown
University, the American University of Rome, and the University of Ljubljana.
He lives in Slovenia.
