A beautiful journey through the untold stories of art, adapted from the global sensation The Story of Art Without Men, ideal for readers age 8-14, by expert art historian and bestselling author Katy Hessel.

Step into the incredible lives of the women artists who have gone uncelebrated for too long.

Journey through history, from the Renaissance to the Second World War, and across the globe, from Cornwall to Manhattan, Nigeria, Japan and more, to discover the stories of women who changed the world with their incredible art.

You'll learn about the extraordinary lives of freedom fighters, game changers and adventurers - and be astounded by the art they made, with its striking landscapes, hidden messages and calls for women's rights.

Based on the bestselling book The Story of Art Without Men, this version includes breathtaking illustrations and a host of new art and artists to discover.

Katy Hessel is an art historian and the author of The Story of Art without Men, the international bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Year 2022, which is now being adapted into an illustrated children's book for publication in 2026. Her second book for adults, How to Live an Artful Life, was published in 2025. She runs @thegreatwomenartists on Instagram, hosts The Great Women Artists Podcast and is a columnist for the Guardian.
