Book Synopsis

This colorful reinterpretation of classic and modern art is a much-needed corrective to traditional art history and an unabashed celebration of female artists.

BUST Magazine

[A] tart, funny, lurid little bomb of a book. It's all p.c., of course, but not at all predictable, and a lot of righteous information gets dispersed in record time.
