"A l`occasion de leur 25e anniversaire, les éditions TASCHEN ont eu l`excellente idée de rééditer certains ouvrages dans un format plus petit et à un prix très abordable. C`est le cas de ce passionnant panorama qui rassemble, pour la première fois, 56 femmes artistes du 20e siècle. Comme le dit l`éditrice, "il ressort de ce parcours que l`art des femmes n`est pas plus synonyme d`art féminin que d`art féministe " …Ce beau livre témoigne en tout cas d`une impressionnante diversité."
