Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was one of France's most distinguished female painters, yet she remains the least well- known of the French Impressionists. This biography recounts the details of her unusual life, her relationships with such figures as her mentor, painter Eduoard Manet and her marriage to his brother, friendships with the painters Renoir, Degas, Monet, and others, and her own remarkable body of work. Distributed by Books International. Color and b&w illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Margaret Shennan was Principal Lecturer and Head of History at St Martin's College of Higher Education, also teaching European studies at Lancaster University.
This biographical portrait of the first lady of Impressionism provides college-level readers with an in-depth study of Morisot's life and contributions to the art. Mystery and myth have surrounded her life and contributed to many fallacies: Shennan's research contributes to a very different view of Morisot's personality and achievements. -- Midwest Book Review
