Book excerpt: This volume examines the work of more than 100 female artists with nearly 300 works in the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, and other experimental media. A series of thematic essays, arranged by country, address the cultural and political contexts in which these radical artists worked, while other essays address key issues such as feminism, art history, and the political body. Published in association with the Hammer Museum. The exhibition took place from Sep 15, 2017-Dec 31, 2017, in the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
