In lucid prose, gratefully unfettered by jargon and rhetoric, Meskimmon moves us to the ineluctable conclusion that an examination of art and art criticism is less than half-precise when it is only half-gendered, and that our present notions of female subjects in art must be significantly reformulated.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Marsha Meskimmon is author of <i>Domesticity and Dissent: The Role of Women Artists in Germany, 1918-1938, </i> and coeditor of <i>Visions of the Neue Frau: Women in the Visual Arts in Weimar Germany.</i>
