Reviews

Women's studies professor Bartra writes provocatively and compellingly about the role of women artists in society. . . . Her documentation of Mexican women artists, a group generally ignored in art history scholarship, is important and necessary. . . . Bartra construct[s] the relevant critical structures by which readers can arrive at a fuller and fairer comprehension of the cultural roles and activities of women artists in their societies. Recommended./i><br><br>--J. B. Wolford Choice
