Reviews'Martinez and Roman have curated a thoughtfully organized - and utterly necessary - collection of essays that offer insight into the labor and experiences of women printmakers and -sellers. In so doing, they bring to light a virtually unknown aspect of image-making and circulation in the long 18th century. Across its three sections, this book offers an effective mixture of methods, archives, and examples from different national traditions. It introduces readers to artists and entrepreneurs they may otherwise never have encountered and acts as a model for future scholarship.' Thora Brylowe, Associate Professor of English, University of Colorado, Boulder, 'Fulfilling a genuine interdisciplinary need for a book-length study addressing this neglected subject, this collection is the first of its kind. Shining new light on the diverse roles played by women in the trades as etchers, engravers, illustrators, and other makers and sellers of graphic prints, it offers a multi-national perspective addressing European and American women workers and artists as they negotiated the artistic, legal, and commercial challenges of their era.' Paula McDowell, Professor of English, New York University, 'This fascinating volume is the first to shed light on the considerable - yet, until now, largely invisible - contributions of women to the eighteenth-century print industry. It offers a rich, detailed study which promises to revitalise the study of graphic culture, drawing out across a series of multi-national case studies the ways in which women negotiated the artistic, technical, commercial, domestic, legal and political landscapes they entered. More than a work of simple historical recovery, the volume builds on its meticulously empirical foundations to draw out exciting new narratives about the participation of women in the print trade over the long eighteenth century.' Rosemarie Dias, Associate Professor of the History of Art, University of Warwick
