The obstacle race : the fortunes of women painters and their work / Germaine Greer - London : Tauris Parke Paperbacks , 2001 - 373 p. : illus. ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index

If men and women are equally capable of genius, why have there been no female artists of the stature of Leonardo, Titian or Poussin? In seeking to answer this question, Germaine Greer introduces us to major but underestimated figures in the history of Western painting - Angelica Kauffmann, Natalia Goncharova, Suzanne Valadon, Berthe Morisot, Kathe Kollwitz - and produces a brilliantly incisive and richly illustrated study. She explains the obstacles as both external and surmountable and internal and insurmountable in the race for achievement.
