From the Renaissance to the present day, this book traces five centuries of sculpture through the work of 300 women artists from 64 countries. The women sculptors featured here represent a wide range of movements, genres and techniques, but what they have in common is their unfailing imagination and creativity. Some of them created sculptural works even though they were refused training or did not have the means to make their work visible, others were neglected by history, and still others were recognised during their lifetime.

This wide-ranging study presents the best-known female sculptors in the history of art, as well as today's rising stars. From the best-known names such as Camille Claudel, Gego, Barbara Hepworth and Yayoi Kusama to the most important contemporary artists such as Huma Bhaba, Mona Hatoum and Simone Leigh. Each artist is introduced by an explanatory text illustrated with a key work.
