The first survey of women's self-portraiture to be focused
exclusively on painting, this book opens with an original attempt
to reconstruct from original accounts the work of artists of
antiquity such as Marcia, Timarete and Eirene. The authors then
select self-portraits by a range of European and American painters
up to the present day to narrate the stylistic development of
women's self-representation in those parts of the world. The story
of the self-portrait offers fascinating insights which deepen our
understanding of these artists' working lives, priorities and
preoccupations. With its chronological sweep, its lavish
illustrations, including many works which have not been reproduced
in print before, and its extensive bibliography, this book is an
indispensable guide to a fascinating subject.
