Reframing Women Printmakers offers an exciting new perspective into Printmaking from the women that created it, made it their own, and changed the industry/art practice. The book offers a nuance look into the history of printmaking and the relationship of printmaking with women, nature, protest and politics. Often many of the artists represented in this book have been overlooked, ignored, or just forgotten. The addition of the artist and writer interviews were awesome, reflecting own voices and shedding light on previously unheard opinion. It is a thoughtful, well researched and well written art book and I’m excited for this to be published! Definitely one that should be on college and university art reading lists.

My only criticism of this book is that it felt overly academic at times when I was expecting more of an art book, it felt like I was reading a theoretical paper.

Also loved that there are illustrations on every page!

Reframing Women offers a powerful and much-needed reexamination of the role of women in printmaking, challenging long-held assumptions about artistic authorship and gender. Through a combination of historical analysis, striking visual examples and interviews with practicing artists, the book sheds light on often-overlooked female artists whose contributions have been marginalized in mainstream art history. The writing is thoughtful and well-researched, offering both scholarly insight and accessible narrative, as well as a broad look through time and cultures. This is an essential read for anyone interested in feminist art history, print culture, or the broader redefinition of women’s roles in the creative industries.
