Katy Hessel on THE STORY OF ART WITHOUT MEN

“In 1649, Artemisia Gentileschi wrote, ‘I'll show you what a woman can do.’” 

In The Story of Art Without Men, Katy Hessel recounts the legacy of the women that have shaped the history of art — largely without recognition. Hessel joins us to talk about how she started this massive project, what surprised her while writing, some of the women that inspire her and more with guest host Allie Ludlow. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Madyson and Jamie.
