Published by Éditions de La Martinière, this book brings together a wide range of writings by women artists—letters, diaries, memoirs, interviews, manifestos, and theoretical essays. It features the voices of forty women active in a vibrant, cosmopolitan Paris from the Belle Époque to the eve of the Second World War, both famous and little-known, from Berthe Morisot and Camille Claudel to Sarah Bernhardt, Nina Hamnett, and Amrita Sher-Gil. Organized around the key stages of an artistic career—training, perseverance, self-organization, and self-assertion—the book sheds light on their individual paths, shaped by ambition, desire, struggle, hardship, and success.
The texts were compiled and introduced by Lucia Pesapane and Delphine Wanes. The publication was overseen by Camille Morineau, AWARE, and Mathilde de Croix.
The titles of this book, designed by the French graphic designer Lisa Sturacci, are set in Louize Display Cond (Matthieu Cortat, 205TF), while the body text is set in Martina Plantijn (Kris Sowersby, Klim Type Foundry).
