An alphabetically arranged collection of information on important and successful women artists--their families, training, careers, major influences and artistic associates, the types of art they've produced and where some of it can be found. Includes many color plates and b&w reproductions of art works. An important reference which will help dispel the myths that women artists are not serious, professional, or prolific.
