Broad Strokes

15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order)

By: Bridget Quinn

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

Historically, major women artists have been excluded from the mainstream art canon. Aligned with the resurgence of feminism in pop culture, Broad Strokes offers an entertaining corrective to that omission. Art historian Bridget Quinn delves into the lives and careers of 15 brilliant female artists in this smart, feisty, educational, and enjoyable book.

This is art history from 1600 to the present day for the modern art lover and feminist.

inspiration in art history

A more personal and inspirational read than just history. It was a pleasant surprise indeed.

Awesome and educational

When I saw this I was interested in the title. Then I was interested by the description. The. I listened to it and I was sucked into a captivating story

Fascinating introduction to artists and their work

I don't know a lot about art history but really enjoyed this book. It was interesting and accessible to the non-expert. Accounts of the 15 women included are interspersed with the author's personal stories, and her accounts of how she had encountered the various artists.

A pdf is included so you can see the art works being discussed.

Great book

Very enjoyable book. The reader had an interesting voice and the subject matter of women artists holds dear to my heart.

Great performance & book

I'm honestly a little confused as to why some have reacted so negatively to the performance. I thought the narrator did a great job and seemed to really master the authorial voice.

Great listen, I would highly recommend.
