Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) produced nearly 900 paintings and was the only woman among the original six Impressionists whose first group exhibition scandalized most of Paris. Higonnet draws on the artist's unpublished diaries and letters to create not only a portrait of a remarkable woman but also vivid portrayls of feminine culture in the late 19th century.

'Ann Higonnet makes an excellent case for re-routing our assumptions about artistic achievement. And she makes it imperative that we reconsider the achievements of Berthe Morisot.' --Felicia Kornbluh, 'Women's Review of Books'
Anne Higonnet is Associate Professor of Art History at Wellesley College and the author of Berthe Morisot's Images of Women (1992).
