This essay collection features innovative scholarship on women artists and patrons in the Netherlands 1500-1700. Covering painting, printmaking, and patronage, authors highlight the contributions of women art makers in the Netherlands, showing that women were prominent as creators in their own time and deserve to be recognized as such today. This collection: 1) It contributes research on individual early modern Netherlandish women artists and patrons and names women artists, patrons, and those who-including themselves-promoted and praised their work in their own time. It thereby provides a foundation for future art historians and scholars. 2) It features emerging scholars' research and provides a historiographical corrective with a contemporary perspective on the state of a feminist Netherlandish art history. 3) The topic is timely-feminist issues are experiencing a resurgence of interest in the academy and among a more general readership because of #metoo and the political realities of the US and Europe.
