Hessel’s The Story of Art Without Men rewrites the canon with the names, visions, and genius history tried to erase. From forgotten Renaissance painters to contemporary boundary-breakers, she maps a lineage of women who made art — and made meaning — in spite of invisibility. Bold, accessible, and long overdue, it’s both history and correction: a celebration of art that didn’t wait for permission.
