Of the six Impressionist painters whose first exhibition scandalized and fascinated Paris in 1874, Berthe Morisot was the only woman. She reached a pinnacle of artistic achievement despite the restraints society placed on her sex, adroitly combining her artistic ambitions with a rewarding family life. Anne Higonnet brings fully to life an accomplished artist and her world.

"A memorable portrait of an admirable woman, as elegantly simple and light in touch as a Manet, or a Morisot."--"Entertainment Weekly
'Ann Higonnet makes an excellent case for re-routing our assumptions about artistic achievement. And she makes it imperative that we reconsider the achievements of Berthe Morisot.' --Felicia Kornbluh, 'Women's Review of Books'
