Description

Judy Chicago and fifteen students founded the Feminist Art Program at Fresno State in 1970. They created shocking new art forms depicting female experiences using consciousness-raising techniques from the women's liberation movement. This interdisciplinary collection of essays by artists and scholars explores how feminists produced vibrant bodies of art in various locations, including Los Angeles. The book features thirty-seven illustrations and color plates, as well as articles on topics such as African American artists, San Francisco's Las Mujeres Muralistas, and Asian American Women Artists Association. An introduction explains the emergence of feminist art within the powerful women's movement that transformed America. This collection showcases the provocative contributions of feminists to American art, offering an exciting look at a pivotal moment in the country's cultural history.
