For the women who have endured overbearing men throughout the centuries, Men to Avoid in Art and Life pairs classical fine art with modern captions that epitomise the mansplaining spirit with hilariously painful accuracy. Whether it’s supplying keen insight on the female anatomy, an eloquent defense of catcalling, or sage advice about horseback riding to the woman who owns the horse, these less qualified men of antiquity will dish out mediocrity as if it’s pure genius.

Through cringe-induced empathy, this timeless gift book of shared experiences unites women across history in one of the most powerful forms of resistance: laughter.
