More Than Muses - 'The Art Girls' on Women in Art

In the 1980s the American pressure group Guerilla Girls protested against sexism in art, calling themselves ‘the conscience of the art world’. Why were less than 5% of the artists in the New York Met’s modern art wing female but 85% of the nudes in the artworks, despite all the lobbying of female art historians in the previous decade? The Dutch pressure group The Art Girls picks up where they left off and traces in this book the changes in the art world that have given women artists their rightful place.
