Alias Olympia

A Woman's Search for Manet's Notorious Model & Her Own Desire

Author: Eunice Lipton
ISBN: 0452011353

Was Victorine Meurent--the woman who modeled for Manet's most famous paintings--a drunkard and prostitute? Or was she a bold and defiant artist in her own right? Feminist art historian Lipton chronicles her search for answers to these questions in a book that has been hailed as "the most original book to emerge from the feminist art generation" (Women's Review of Books).
