Women in Art Chadwick's book is the definative in this genre, an absolute must read for anyone wishing to research this field.

Her dicussion of the major ideological trends in society and the arts is impressive. While it could have included more discussion on the non Anglo-American art scene, the book has proved invaluable in understanding the complexities of women in art history.
