A review by thegrimhobbyist
Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement by Mary Gabriel

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

This was not the book it claims it is. What I thought would be a focus on women in the art world ended up being a focus on the men surrounding the women in the art world and art history in general. Had the synopsis described this to be an art history book of a particular era, instead of using a group of women in the title to draw people in, then I'd be less disappointed and would have continued to read it for exactly that. But I picked up this book to learn about the women in art history specifically. So, I'm DNFing it and moving on to something else. This book is 944 pages long, and I don't want to slog through 900+ pages of false advertisement.
