Om bidragsyterne

P.L. Henderson was born in the North of England and now lives in Lisbon, Portugal. She is an art historian and freelance writer who regularly contributes to publications on art, ecological issues and wider culture. Her research into the subject of women artists led to her creation and curation of the successful and ongoing social media project: @womensart1 (X, formerly twitter) and WOMENSART blog to platform the work of women artists. Whilst having a case study published in the book Feminism and Museums, Intervention, Disruption and Change (2017), she was also one of the writing team for Phaidon's book Great Women Artists (2019) and also Great Women Painters (2022). She has also written her own successful books about art: Unravelling Women's Art; Creators, Rebels & Innovators in Textile Arts (Aurora Metro/Supernova Books 2020) and Unlocking Women's Art: Pioneers, Visionaries & Radicals of Paint (Aurora Metro/Supernova Books 2023). www.womensartblog.wordpress.com.
