    “Primer for anyone interested in feminist art history. This was written in 1970s, but (sadly) still is as relevant as ever.”

    “Art major classic! Nochlin beautifully articulates how women are treated differently to their male counterparts in the art field, hindering their ability to become "one of the greats".”
