Madam and Eve: Women Portraying Women Contemporary Art As a tribute to RubensThis book is about how women artists have depicted women in art over the last 30 40 years. It is not a feminist diatribe but a rich, varied and exciting overview of the many different media and approaches that women have used to create images of themselves and other women that are different from the ways in which male artists perceive and have depicted women in art. There are six chapters beginning with an "historic" chapter starting in the 1970s
