The Exceptional Woman: Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun and the Cultural Politics of Art New edition
Mary D. Sheriff
A court-painter to Marie Antoinette, Elisabeth Vigee-LeBrun was rediscovered in the 1970s as part of the "hidden feminist heritage". This text uses her career to explore the position of "woman-artist" in the moral, philosophical, professional and medical debates about women in 18th-century France.
