I was captivated by each chapter of Broad Strokes and I loved Quinn's voice: I laughed when she pointed out the provocative direction of a paintbrush, I appreciated the historical context that she provided, and I admired the care and attention with which she describes each work of art. The book is very hard to put down. Each story is compelling for many, many reasons.

"I went to my locker in the art library and took out our main text, a massive volume called History of Art by H. W. Janson, hoisted it onto a table, and started flipping through," Quinn writes in the introduction. "By the time I hit the back cover, I had a list of sixteen women...In more than 800 pages, this was all “official” art history could offer." Just sixteen.

Many thanks to Quinn for writing this book. It is a fascinating and important read, and very enjoyable.
