Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist who lived between 1862 and 1944. She attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and studied conventional painting. But it was her abstract artwork later in life that would make her famous. Extremely spiritual, she believed art should transcend the physical world. She used shells, flowers and spiral forms to depict growth, progress and evolution. Sometimes resembling diagrams, her artwork incorporates geometry, grids, circles and specific color choices.

This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and, far too often, accredited to men.
