Chadwick argues that these women were not merely muses or assistants to their male counterparts, but rather brilliant artists in their own right who made significant contributions to the development of modern art.

The book features the work of over 50 women artists, including:

Sonia Delaunay, a pioneering abstract artist who is best known for her vibrant color compositions
Gertrude Stein, a writer and art collector who was a major force in the development of modernism
Hannah Höch, a German artist who is known for her photomontages and collages

li>Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist who is best known for her self-portraits and depictions of Mexican culture

These women were not only talented artists, but also strong and independent women who defied the conventions of their time.

They were often pioneers in their fields, breaking down barriers and paving the way for other women to follow in their footsteps.

Chadwick's book is a fascinating and inspiring look at the lives and work of these remarkable women.

It is a must-read for anyone interested in art history, feminism, or the history of women's achievements.
