Chadwick Whitney. Women, Art, and Society

Thames and Hudson, 1997. — 452 p. — (World of Art).This book is heavily indebted to the many feminist scholars whose work has charted this new art historical territory and to my students on the Women and Art course at San Francisco State University whose questions helped me shape and refine the material. Linda Nochlin, Moira Roth, and Lisa Tickner have read the manuscript and made many helpful suggestions.Jo Ann Bernstein, Cristelle Baskins, Susie Sutch, Pat Ferrero,Josephine Withersjanet Kaplan, and Mira Schor offered valuable critical commentary on specific chapters. Darrell Garrison and George Levounis spent many hours checking bibliography and references. Moira Roth provided valuable advice and constructive criticism in the preparation of the revised edition. I would also like to thank Monique Gross for her diligent bibliographic research. I am especially indebted to Nikos Stangos and the staff at Thames and Hudson who enthusiastically undertook this book and who have cheerfully coped with my hesitations and doubts as the manuscript expanded far beyond our original projections.
