“It’s eye-opening and awe-inspiring to see how women artists have
shaped the world over the centuries. Rachel Ignotofsky splendidly
captures that in her phenomenal book Women in Art. From the first
page to the last page, I saw icons I’ve loved, like Zaha Hadid and
Alma Thomas, and learned more about artists such as Loïs Mailou
Jones. This book is a visual treasure for women across all
generations.”—Jasmin Hernandez, founder of Gallery Gurls

collection of cool creatives, Rachel Ignotofsky’s Women in Art will
inspire, inform, and ignite imagination in the minds of the littles
and bigs in your life.”—Justina Blakeny, designer, artist, author,
and founder of Jungalow

medium and message. Fifty true and inspiring stories of artful
women, artfully told. Fun to read and to behold, this book is a
delightful expression of the fact that, in Ignotofsky’s words, ‘Art
is more than just something beautiful— it shapes and reflects our
world.’”—Bridget Quinn, author of Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made
Art and Made History (in That Order)
