Reviews

"""...A rich volume, packed with original analyses, often of artists or artworks that have not received much (or any) attention to date. It is also the first edited volume to look at the question of gender in Asian art as a whole. This volume will make an important contribution to the fields of gender studies as well as Asian art."" Deborah Hutton, The College of New Jersey, USA"
