At Home in the Studio

“Prieto reconstructs a substantial chronology for women artists in the US… Two tendencies that wax and wane over a century are traced: the drive to be an artist and the desire to be a woman, both providing a basis for professionalization… [Prieto] demonstrates an ability to read works of art, interweaving their visual narratives into the context of women’s artistic development. Highly recommended.”—E. K. Menon, Choice
