Jennifer Higgie on the Forgotten Perspective of Women in Art

In this episode of “Keen On”, Andrew is joined by Jennifer Higgie, the author of “The Mirror and the Pallette - Rebellion, Revolution, and Resilience: Five Hundred Years of Women’s Self Portraits”, to tell the stories of extraordinary women artists from the 16th to the 20th centuries, as well as to examine what their self-representation reveals about the times in which they lived. Jennifer was frieze magazine reviews editor from 1998-2003; co-editor with Jörg Heiser and then Dan Fox until 2017; frieze Editorial Director from 2017-19 and editor-at-large until 2021. She is the presenter of Bow Down, a podcast about women in art history; the author and illustrator of the children’s book There’s Not One; the editor of The Artist’s Joke; author of the novel Bedlam; and the writer of the feature film I Really Hate My Job.
