For LGBTQ+ History month in the UK, I wanted to read books that focus mainly on British history, and as someone who love art history, this was the perfect book for me.
The book is well set out and is respectful towards artists that maybe we don't know so much about their personal lives. It looks at the history through their lense instead of ours. With some of the artists they stated that although the artist dressed mascaline for the time, they used feminine pronouns and they respect that by not assuming how they would identify if they were around and active today.
An interesting book that not only discusses art history but also queer history of the time.
