Feminist art and the fight for equality
Art and feminism: Once again, women are on the march. And since its
inception in the 19th century, the women's movement has harnessed the
power of images to transmit messages of social change and equality to
the world.
A comprehensive
international survey of feminist art: From highlighting the posters
of the Suffrage Atelier, through the radical art of Judy Chicago and
Carrie Mae Weems, to the cutting-edge work of Sethembile Msezane and
Andrea Bowers, The Art of Feminism traces the way feminists
have shaped visual arts and media throughout history.
Feminism and art
history: Featuring more than 350 works of art, illustration,
photography, performance, and graphic design-along with essays
examining the legacy of the radical canon-this rich volume showcases
the vibrancy of the feminist aesthetic over the last 150 years.
