Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting – not as muses but as artists. These five women changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing social code and replacing it with a doctrine of liberation. This is the remarkable and inspiring story of the power of art and artists in shaping not just postwar America but the future.
