The Power of Feminist Art

Since its inception nearly 25 years ago, the feminist art movement has transformed the art world. Now, co-editors Norma Broude and Mary D. Gaffard, professors of art history at the American University in Washington D.C., bring together 18 influential art historians, critics and artists to present this volume - the first history and analysis of a fertile and dynamic period of artistic growth. Probing and provocative texts, backed by nearly 250 illustrations, examine the first feminist art education programmes, Chicago's now legendary Dinner Party, and such key exhibitions as "Women Artists: 1550-1950", organized in 1976 by Linda Nochlin and Ann Sutherland Harris. Here are the remarkable painters, sculptors, photographers and performance artists of the period, among them Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, Laurie Anderson, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Betye Saar, Cindy Sherman, Nancy Spero and Hannah Wilke.
