Title: Something for Everyone
Review: The triumph of this book is not just that it makes one want to read everything Mary Gordon has written, but that it (hopefully) prompts the reader to discover more about art history, feminist art and women artists. As a feminist art historian, I read this book with avid interest and have since made it required reading for two of my college classes. Students respond to its frank discussion of female sexuality, copious references to art, fast pace and breezy, lyrical writing style. I admire Mary Gordon's firm grasp and detailed description of the artistic process, knowledge of feminist art history and criticism, willingness to discuss such challenging issues as censorship, protest and patronage and obvious and infectious love of art.
