Stefan Bollmann's \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Read Are Dangerous\u003c\/em\u003e explores this popular subject in more than seventy artworks--drawings, paintings, photographs, and print--by iconic artists such as Henri Matisse, Edward Hopper, Suzanne Valadon, August Sander, Rembrandt, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the book's provocative title indicates, a woman reading was once viewed as radical. In chapters, such as \"Intimate Moments\" and \"The Search for Oneself,\" Bollmann profiles how a woman with a book was once seen as idle or suspect and how women have gained autonomy through reading over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBollmann offers intelligent and engaging commentary on each work of art in \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Read Are Dangerous\u003c\/em\u003e, telling us who the subject is, her relationship to the artist, and even what she is reading. With works ranging from a 1333 Annunciation painting of the angel Gabriel speaking to the Virgin Mary, book in hand, to twentieth-century works, such as a stunning photograph of Marilyn Monroe reading \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e, this appealing survey provides a veritable slideshow of the many iterations of a woman and her book--a compelling subject to this day. An excellent gift for graduates, teachers, or Mother's Day, this elegant book should appeal to anyone interested in art, literature, or women's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.1 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837372002406,"sku":"9780789212566","price":30.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/cWdad2dEbm9kY0FRQkRNbnExR0YxQT09.webp?v=1772434517","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/women-who-read-are-dangerous-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
