Paris: Editions du Seuil, 2015. Hardcover. VG+ contents but with bumped corners to covers and head/tail of spine.. Color-illus. boards with yellow lettering. 221 pp. with 81 (mostly) color plates. Text in French. With an introduction and conclusion and four chapters in between: Les identites multiples de la femme peintre (The Multiple Identities of the Woman Painter); La Bella...Pittrice: de l'allegorie de la beaute et de la peinture a l'autoportrait de la femme peintre (The Alletory of Beauty and the Autoportrait of the Woman Painter); Savoir (pour) devenir peintre (To Learn to Become a Painter); De quel genre sont les femmes peintres?

Lacas has based her study on the works of women painters of the fifteenth to the dawn of the nineteenth century, among which are Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun, Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola or Adelaide Labille-Guiard, all of whom have determined and still determine the reception, critical fortune, and aesthetic appreciation of art and particularly art by women.
