A Fantastic Resource of Female Artists

As a soon-to-be art teacher, I requested this for Christmas and I have loved it. As I teach students about all of the incredible artists that have shaped the art world, I want to introduce them to artists of every kind--that means as many female artists as males, which is ridiculously easier said than done. This book not only introduces artists and their work, but also gives an in-depth look into these women and their careers. I love Danielle Krysa, I'll probably (hopefully) own most every book of hers in the next couple years.
