Great Women Artists – A unique celebration of 500 Years of  Women’s

Women artists shaped culture for generations, yet their achievements were long kept in the shadows. Great Women Artists changes that narrative. Showcasing the work of over 400 women spanning 500 years, this groundbreaking book honors their creativity while challenging the gaps in traditional art history.

This landmark book spans diverse disciplines—painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and performance art—featuring celebrated artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo as well as trailblazers still gaining recognition. Accompanying essays and analysis come from an international team of curators, historians, and writers, among them Katy Hessel, James Cahill, Orit Gat, Ferren Gipson, Elizabeth Fullerton, and Louisa Elderton.

With its sweeping vision and striking presentation, Great Women Artists asserts itself as more than an art book. It reclaims overlooked voices, champions diversity, and challenges readers to expand how they understand both art and the world it reflects.
