Ninth Street Women

Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler

Mary Gabriel

Revolutionize the modern art world in postwar America with the impassioned and wild chronicle of five pioneering women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting. Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler burst open the door to the art world for themselves and countless others. In Ninth Street Women, Mary Gabriel tells a remarkable and inspiring story of the power of art and artists in shaping not just postwar America but the future.
