Book Synopsis
Looks at two different genres in relation to the construction of femininity in late nineteenth-century France - Degas' representation of ballet dancers and the transforming tradition of female portraiture.

Trade Review

"It is fluidly written and engaging . . . there is much to like in this book. Garb's insights on the femme nouvelle, in particular, are noteworthy, and scholars of gender and modern France, or of gender and modern art, will find them worth reading."
