To celebrate International Women’s Day, and in collaboration with the women in art festival Threads, our guest is the art historian Frances Borzello.

Her latest book is a fully revised and updated edition of A World of Our Own, one of the first explorations of how women have always practised as artists, but for centuries have been overlooked in the art world. Their work derided as second-rate, and presence unwelcome in a male profession, it examines how, against the odds, women overcame these difficulties.

Frances Borzello is also the author of The Naked Nude, Seeing Ourselves: Women’s Self-Portraits and At Home: The Domestic Interior in Art, all published by Thames & Hudson.
