The Obstacle Race

Zusatztext

The author of the book asks an eternal question: if men and women are equally capable of genius, why have there been no female artists like Leonardo, Titian, or Poussin? In an attempt to answer this question, Germaine Greer introduces us to major underestimated figures in the history of Western painting. She writes about Angelica Kauffmann, Natalia Goncharova, Suzanne Valadon, Berthe Morisot, Kathe Köllwitz. She pays a lot of attention to the obstacles as both external and internal in the race for achievement and fame.
