Why These Histories Matter:

Read together, these writings trace a modernism shaped by women who insisted on new ways of seeing and being seen. Their artistic experimentation, daring curatorial methods, and transnational lives reveal a shared project: to reimagine modern art, reclaim the nude, and expand the creative possibilities available to women. These intertwined histories remind us that the story of modern art is inseparable from the women who transformed it.
