Love this book. Every school, college and university should have several copies. So many books on art or art history focus on the same few artists and the same few images, this book takes a different path, making it refreshing and illuminating. Many contemporary artists’ work is showcased here and it was helpful (and hopeful) to learn about their artistic journeys (yes, it’s ok to have a few diversions along the way). Whilst the information panels on additional artists provide good overviews of their work and the creative projects deepen one’s understanding of the artworks featured and galvanize your creativity.

A fantastic book – I have read it cover to cover. The artists are grouped into interesting themes, and the book includes multiple high-quality images of each artist’s work. A must for any artist’s or art-lover’s bookshelf.

I bought the kindle of this. An absolute bargain and a brilliant introduction to so many female artists all well worth checking out. If you love Art, just get this!

An inspiring book as it features artists who are unfamiliar but written in a rather childlike tone – perhaps best suited to a teenager studying art GCSE or to inspire a young adult.
