Reading:  Seeing Ourselves: Women’s Self-Portraits by Frances Borzello  

The first chronicle of the whole story of female self-portraiture through the centuries―a key work in the study of women’s art. For centuries, women’s self-portraiture was a highly overlooked genre. Beginning with the self-portraits of nuns in medieval illuminated manuscripts, Seeing Ourselves finally gives this richly diverse range of artists and portraits, spanning centuries, the critical analysis they deserve. Alden Cole to lead.
