Description
The Art of Feminism charts the birth of the feminist aesthetic and its development over two centuries that have seen profound and fast- paced change in women's lives across the globe. Includes over 350 remarkable artworks, ranging from political posters and graphics to stunning and provocative pieces of painting, sculpture, textiles, craft, performance, digital and installation art. The works included begin with poster images produced by the Suffrage Atelier in the nineteenth century, moving on to developments of both World Wars before arriving at the 'birth' of feminist art in the 1960s.
