An investigation into the role of women in the Expressionist movement of the 20th-century. The author submits that women not only participated in the major exhibitions but also contributed to the formation of the movement's concepts. This book presents the work of 10 significant Expressionists namely: Erma Barrera-Bossi; Sigrid Hjerten; Kathe Kollwitz; Paula Modersohn-Becker; Gabriele Munter; Maria Nauen von Malachowski; Vera Nilsson; Olga Oppenheimer; Jacoba van Heemskerck and Marianne Werefkin. By focusing on these artists the author expands the historical awareness of the whole Expressionist period and gives examples of the feminine interpretation of its principles.
