Stefan Bollmanns Women Who Read Are Dangerous explores this popular subject in more than seventy artworksdrawings, paintings, photographs, and printby iconic artists such as Henri Matisse, Edward Hopper, Suzanne Valadon, August Sander, Rembrandt, and many more.As the books provocative title indicates, a woman reading was once viewed as radical. In chapters, such as Intimate Moments and The Search for Oneself, Bollmann profiles how a woman with a book was once seen as idle or suspect and how women have gained autonomy through reading over the years.Bollmann offers intelligent and engaging commentary on each work of art in Women Who Read Are Dangerous, telling us who the subject is, her relationship to the artist, and even what she is reading. With works ranging from a 1333 Annunciation painting of the angel Gabriel speaking to the Virgin Mary, book in hand, to twentiethcentury works, such as a stunning photograph of Marilyn Monroe reading Ulysses, this appealing survey provides a veritable slideshow of the many iterations of a woman and her booka compelling subject to this day.

I enjoyed some parts of the book, but I felt like it could have explored the themes more deeply. The idea behind it is great, and I appreciate the focus on women in literature, but a few chapters felt rushed.

A Must-Read for Book Lovers
This book really resonates with my passion for reading. It's empowering to see women portrayed as strong and knowledgeable through literature. I bought it as a gift for my sister, and she couldn't put it down!

Not What I Expected
I was really looking forward to this book, but I found it a bit disappointing. Some sections felt disjointed, and I struggled to connect with the content. It arrived quickly, though, which was nice!
