The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion To the History of Western Art

by Guerrilla Girls

The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion To the History of Western Art Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Taking readers back through the ages, the Guerrilla Girls demonstrate how males have dominated the art scene, and discouraged, belittled, or obscured the women's movement. This colorful reinterpretation of classic and modern art, as outrageous as it is visibly arresting, is a much-needed corrective to traditional art history, and an unabashed celebration of female artists. Illustrations. 96 pp. 8-city author tour. Online publicity. National radio interviews. 35,000 print.
