In this republication, revisit the late Linda Nochlin’s pioneering writings on the representation of women in art. Women—as warriors, workers, mothers, lovers—haunt nineteenth and twentieth-century Western painting. This republication of Representing Women brings together the late Linda Nochlin’s most important and pioneering writings on the representation of women in art as she considers works by Jean-Francois Millet, Eugene Delacroix, Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat, Mary Cassatt, and Kathe Kollwitz, among many others. In a riveting, partly autobiographical introduction, Nochlin argues for the honest virtues of an art history that rejects methodological presuppositions and for art historians to investigate the work before their eyes while focusing on its subject matter, informed by a sensitivity to its feminist spirit.

A comprehensive compendium of renowned art historian Linda Nochlin's work, including her landmark essays on the position and influence of women artists. Linda Nochlin was one of the most accessible, provocative, and innovative art historians of our time. In 1971, she published “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?”—a dramatic feminist call to arms that questioned traditional art historical practices and led to a major revision of the discipline. Now available in paperback, Women Artists brings together twenty-nine essential essays from throughout Nochlin's career. Included are her major thematic texts "Women Artists After the French Revolution" and "Starting from Scratch: The Beginnings of Feminist Art History," as well as her landmark 1971 essay and its rejoinder, " 'Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?' Thirty Years After." These appear alongside monographic entries focusing on a selection of major women artists, including Mary Cassatt, Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, Kiki Smith, Miwa Yanagi, and Sophie Calle.
