RECKITT, HELENA
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. 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, this comprehensive international survey traces the way feminists have shaped visual arts and media throughout history. Featuring more than 350 works of art, illustration, photography, performance, and graphic designalong with essays examining the legacy of the radical canonthis rich volume showcases the vibrancy of the feminist aesthetic over the last 150 years.
Helena Reckitt is chair of the Women's Art Library and a senior lecturer in curating at Goldsmiths, University of London.
