Women Artists In All Ages And Countries (1859)

""Women Artists In All Ages And Countries"" is a historical book written by Elizabeth Fries Ellet in 1859. The book is an extensive compilation of biographical sketches of female artists from various countries and periods, ranging from ancient Greece to contemporary times. Ellet's aim was to highlight the achievements and contributions of women in the field of art, which had been largely overlooked and marginalized in the male-dominated art world. The book covers a wide range of artistic disciplines, including painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and literature, and features notable women such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Angelica Kauffman, Mary Cassatt, and George Sand. The book is a testament to the resilience and creativity of women artists throughout history, despite facing social, cultural, and gender-based barriers. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in women's history, art history, and gender studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
