# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Women in Art Book Club: "Women in the Picture"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a book club celebrating women in art. Whether you're an art historian, a beginner, or just love art, everyone is welcome at the table.

For this first spring season of the club, we'll be starting out with The Story of Art Without Men by Katy Hessel, a general overview of overlooked women artists across time. This is a gorgeous book with full color illustrations; the audiobook is wonderfully narrated, as well. Then we'll be reading Linda Nochlin's Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? This is a staple in the feminist art history sphere, and this edition also includes Nochlin's follow-up essay written thirty years later. Finally, we will look at how women's bodies have been viewed and displayed across time in Catherine McCormack's Women in the Picture. From renaissance paintings to present day advertisements, we'll look at how women countered these depictions in their own art to explore identity, sexuality, race, and power.

Come to one session or all three, and get 10% off the selected books from AGB. This book club is free to join and open to the public.

In the summer season, we'll be diving into individual artists and art movements. Stay tuned for those dates and book announcements!
