From alluring goddesses to stately queens, from society doyennes to alluring prostitutes, this tour takes you on a journey through three millennia of exquisite women. We look at the clothes they wore; the friends they made; and the fabulous, and sometimes tragic, lives they led -- all through the lens of beautiful art.
