Women in the Nineteenth Century

One of a series designed to present high-quality art reproductions at relatively low prices, this pack uses 19th-century paintings to explore the role of women in that era.

In the 24 unbound colour plates, women are depicted by celebrated artists such as Cassatt, Courbet, Daumier, Gauguin, Ingres, Manet, Millet, Morisot, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh and Whistler.

The accompanying 48-page book contains analysis of each image, placing it in historical and social context, plus discussions of women's economic and social status and the portrayal of women in myth and allegory.
