{"product_id":"women-who-read-are-dangerous","title":"Women Who Read Are Dangerous","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is it about a woman reading that has captivated hundreds of artists over the centuries? 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\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0789212560\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780789212566\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: White, Paul Dudley, Bollmann, Stefan, Fowler, Karen Joy\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abbeville Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Mar 2016)","offer_id":46081456013509,"sku":"9780789212566","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780789212566.jpg?v=1776046260","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/women-who-read-are-dangerous","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
