The range and quality of the sculpture they produced confirm the determination, resilience and inventiveness of these women. Contributions by leading scholars discuss the lives and work of numerous significant artists from across the globe, including Luisa Roldán, Harriet Hosmer, Marcello, Malvina Hoffman, Margaret Butler, Chana Orloff and Barbara Hepworth.
