About this title

Synopsis

Reflects the diversity of the paintings, sculptures, photographs, performances and videos by 87 women artists. A careers section charts the representation of women artists in exhibitions, art magazines and corporate collections. Biographies are provided for each artist, followed by a list of the major group exhibitions of the period, annotated with the names of these artists who participated in them. A variety of essays examine the phenomenon of the rapid development of women artists during the 1970s.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

The work of many women artists during the 1970's and the 80's helped foster this re-engagement between art and life by re-emphasizing subjective and social concerns that had been outside the modernist visual lexicon....As members of a new pluralist avant-garde they enlarged the possibilities of art, helping to define a new mainstream that encompassed their work.

For me art accomplishes my own liberation. It makes me stronger.
