Book excerpt: "The French nineteenth-century painter Berthe Morisot was held by her contemporaries to the the 'quintessential Impressionist'. She was an influential member of the Impressionist group, whose exhibitions she organized with her colleagues, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. This book shows how she was able to turn the limitaitons that her gender, background and education imposed on her as an artist to advantage. But, above all, it has been the quality of her paintings, drawings and graphic work that has ensured her continuing fame." - back cover.
