Praise for: Women Artists"The last 20 years of scholarship have brought many forgotten women artists to attention, but too often their presentation has been marred by anachronistic feminist rhetoric. Nancy G. Hellers lucid, evenhanded Women Artists is a noteworthy exception." - The Washington Post"Anyone just now waking up to the fact that women have been missing from written art history would do well to begin with this attractive, even-tempered survey of American and European women artists from the Renaissance to the present." - Los Angeles Times
