: Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, Ana Mendieta and the Guerrilla Girls.
Though it didn’t gain momentum until the mid-20th century, feminist art has its roots in the late 1900s and 1920s when women were offered the right to vote in the UK and America. As liberation began sweeping across the world, the first wave of feminist art was born. Women began asserting their position behind the canvas, instead of posing as objects of pleasure in front of it.
Within the book – created by Valentina Grande and Eva Rosetti and published by Laurence King – each artist featured represents one of the four pillars of the movement. Judy Chicago – the artist behind, widely deemed the first epic feminist artwork – made us reassess the female body, sexuality and championed a new wave of female empowerment.
