The big is full of interesting info about past views on woman in art. The book is essay form and can be challenging to read but worth it.
ingeborg_frey's review against another edition
Fra den noe glisne kunstteori-hylla på Bergen offentlige.
Treffer alle spikere vi trenger i det mest grunnleggende stillaset for likestilling.
Presisjon på bekostning av nyanser, men det kan man finne hos e.g. Lauren Elkin & Frances Borzello & Audre Lorde & Chris Kraus etc.
Vil nå lese & konsumere ALT!!!
I fint samspill med Susan Sontags Against Interpretation, som jeg slukte til frokost. Tenker på Checkout 19 (Bennett) & Crystal Pite & Second Place (Cusk). Elsker å leve i 2024 med verkene til alle disse kvinnene.

A long reading for my uni class, at points it dragged on a bit, but overall, is very interesting, has very good points and is a well-written piece of scholarly literature on women in art. I see why it’s an art historical classic

"Could it be that the little golden nugget - Genius - is missing from the aristocratic make-up in the same way that it is from the feminine psyche?
Or rather, is it not, that the kinds of demands and expectations placed before both aristocrats and women - the amount of time necessarily devoted to social functions, the very kinds of activities demanded - simply made total devotion to professional art production out of the question, indeed unthinkable, for both upper-class males and for women generally, rather than its being a question of genius and talent?"

really well-written, groundbreaking argument from a first wave feminist art historian about why there's been few great female artists as a result of institutional and systemic barriers

Obviously this is THE feminist art history writing. I loved it. It is from the 70s so there’s obviously more / different things to say now but it was still an incredibly worth while read.
