Reviews for The Memory Factory: The Forgotten Women Artists of Vienna 1900 (Central European Studies)
“This is an excellent addition to the literature on fin-de-siècle Vienna, well-researched and well-argued. It highlights little-known artists and situates them in a novel interpretation of women’s roles in the art world. The author challenges dominant tropes of feminist historiography and thus sheds new light on twentieth-century art history and historiography,” —Michael Gubser, James Madison University.
