{"product_id":"women-who-read-are-dangerous-9780789212566","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 70 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bollmann, Stefan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789212566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 8.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Stefan Bollmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39636899364939,"sku":"9780789212566","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_7d074f54-78d7-4562-a5f2-fd718ff216ee.jpg?v=1641908678","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/women-who-read-are-dangerous-9780789212566","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
