Why read it?
1 author picked Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the book that ignited my interest in the Pre-Raphaelite circle and the women who inspired them. Jan Marsh is Pre-Raphaelite royalty when it comes to art history and her work is both pioneering and inspiring. She has gone such a long way to uncover the hidden lives of these incredibly important women and those who have followed her owe her a great deal. This is the book that marked when the women began to be taken as seriously as the men.
From Kirsty's list on aspiring Pre-Raphaelite women.
