An Essential Art History Book

This is currently my favorite art book. This is great collection of the artwork produced by female artists during the women's movement in the 70's and 80's. This book also chronicles this art movement and it effect on the 80's and very early 90's. Including many articles and thorough documentation of artwork this book is a smart look the amazing art that women created.This book is essential to truly understand modern art history.

I love this book!!!!

This book shows that white males are trying to keep women from showing their work. Well, women are producing work which challenges white patriarchal paradigms, and they are succeeding brilliantly. This is a wonderful compendium of knowledge and insight. I'm giving it to my adopted Chinese daughter.
