Readers then explore autobiographical narratives, journal and diary entries, and letters-works that illuminate each artist's early sense of artistic vocation, her creative process, her position on marriage and motherhood, her attitudes toward recognition, popular success, and the public persona of the artist, and her political beliefs and opinions on contemporary feminist movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWomen artists featured include Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, Harriet Hosmer, Rosa Bonheur, Berthe Morisot, Marie Bashkirtseff, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Louise Nevelson, Elizabeth Catlett, Carolee Schneeman, Alice Neel, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, and Louise Bourgeois.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing accessible and engaging narratives that contextualize and bring women artists' works to life, \u003cem\u003eIn Her Own Words \u003c\/em\u003eis an ideal collection for courses in art history, gender studies, women's literature, and creative writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12932664\"\u003eWendy Slatkin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cognella Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781516544257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1516544250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015000\"\u003eHistory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cognella Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583678705901,"sku":"9781516544257","price":139.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7496b3d2-5ec4-47aa-b37f-c526d64a0873.jpg?v=1702127413","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/in-her-own-words-a-primary-source-book-of-autobiographical-texts-by-women-artists-in-the-19th-and-20th-centuries-9781516544257","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
