A journey of discovery into the lives and contributions of three forgotten women, obscured by the power of their husbands’ fame

Butler illuminates the ways in which these model-wives figured in their husbands’ achievements and provides new analyses of familiar works of art.Filled with captivating detail, the book recovers the lives of Hortense, Camille, and Rose, and recognizes with new insight how their unique relationships enriched the quality of their husbands’ artistic endeavors.
