By pairing classic paintings with contemporary captions, Men to Avoid in Art and Life perfectly captures those relatable moments when a man very graciously explains to a woman a subject about which he knows considerably less than she does.

For the women who have endured overbearing men throughout the centuries, this pairs classical fine art with modern captions that epitomize the mansplaining spirit with hilariously painful accuracy. Whether it's 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.
