Welcome to Litsy!

Some of these works of art are really beautiful. It was a fun idea to compile these images from various time periods on the same topic into a book. The diversity of the subject was limited to age. It would have been more interesting if the author had included more current artwork with subjects of women of color and women of different religions besides Christianity.

Bookshop browsing…. Not sure why I gravitated to this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This book is phenomenal. The focus is on the four roles of women in art - Venus, Mothers, Damsel in Distress & Monster - and talks about the historical & mythological background and modern connections and all with a detailed & feminist approach. An absolute delight and I learned a lot.
