"This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the
lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an
essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and
Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as
they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the
spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution. Their stories and their
achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent
decades of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into
exile in New York and Mexico."
