Books by Katy Hessel

3. Katy Hessel, The Story of Art: Without Men .  A good revisionist account, and with nice photographic images.  Still, the treatment is oddly conservative in some regards.  Why not much more coverage of textiles and pottery, two areas with a highly significant female presence?  Why not more on photography, especially in its earlier phases?  Overall this is a good catalog of underrated women creators, but it won’t help you to understand their history much.
