Women have been wielding paintbrushes since time immemorial, yet their names often remain obscure. This captivating tome shines a spotlight on 65 remarkable female artists, spanning centuries and continents.
From the luminaries of the Dutch Golden Age to the rebellious spirits of Soviet Russia and the contemplative exiles of surrealism, this compendium offers a riveting journey through the annals of art history. With a dash of wit and a generous dollop of insight, this guide cuts through the noise to deliver the essential facts about these canvas-conquering heroines—and their masterpieces.
Lavishly illustrated with faithful colour reproductions, this elegant hardback marries incisive commentary with visual splendour. It's a compelling case for the rightful place of these artists in the pantheon of painting greats.
As the inaugural volume in a fresh series of Opinionated Guides exploring artistic movements, mediums, and concepts, this book builds upon the triumph of Hoxton Mini Press's London-centric predecessors. It's an indispensable addition to any art enthusiast's library, guaranteed to enlighten and entertain in equal measure.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
