Step into a gallery of brilliance with Sophia Bennett’s Women’s Art Work, brought to life by stunning illustrations from Manjit Thapp. With a foreword by Maria Balshaw, the Tate’s first female director, this vibrant collection shines a spotlight on the trailblazing women who reshaped the art world forever. From Frida Kahlo’s fearless self-expression to the bold activism of the Guerrilla Girls, from the haunting works of Ana Mendieta to the radical visions of Yayoi Kusama, these more than 30 artists pushed boundaries, broke barriers, and transformed how we see art—and ourselves.

Inside the book, readers will discover inspiring biographies of pioneering women from past to present, a glossary of art terms, and a timeline of major milestones in women’s art history. The pages are filled with fascinating sidebars that add cultural and historical context, and the collection also includes exclusive interviews with living legends like Kusama, Lorna Simpson, and Rachel Whiteread. Whether you’re a lifelong art lover or just beginning your journey, Women’s Art Work is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the unstoppable power of women’s voices in art. Perfect for readers of all ages who are ready to be inspired!

Celebrate the women who changed the canvas of history—one masterpiece at a time.
