"The Story of Art: Women Take Center Stage"

Katy Hessel, a British art historian, curator, and podcaster, has launched a 512-page art history book titled "The Story of Art Without Men." Hessel, who is behind the Great Women Artists podcast, newsletter, and Instagram, has built a large following for encouraging art lovers and newbies alike to approach the craft's historical canon with a raised eyebrow and a red pen. The book is a natural next step after the popularity of her other projects, and she hopes that one day in the future, there will be enough gender parity and representation in the art world that children will wonder why a book like hers was ever necessary.
