Rewriting Art History: The Overlooked Women of 'The Story of Art Without Men'

Katy Hessel, an art historian, has written a new book titled "The Story of Art Without Men," which highlights the overlooked contributions of women artists throughout history. Hessel's book offers a new perspective on the history of Western art, which has traditionally been dominated by male artists. She argues that women artists have been consciously written out of art history and that their contributions have been undervalued. Hessel's book features works by lesser-known women artists, including Catharina van Hemessen and Sofonisba Anguissola, and highlights the importance of gender equality in the art world.
