Product Description: This volume is the third in an influential series of anthologies by editors Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard that challenge art history from a feminist perspective. Following their Feminism and Art History: Questioning the Litany (1982) and The Expanding Discourse: Feminism and Art History (1992), this new volume identifies female agency as a central theme of recent feminist scholarship. Framed by a lucid and stimulating critical introduction, twenty-three essays on artists and issues from the Renaissance to the present, written in the 1990s and after, offer a nuanced critique of the poststructuralist premises of 1980s feminist art history.

Excellent academic text I got a good sense of feminism, the history of feminist theory, and the history of art from reading this text. I will never see art history the same way. Spans a range of dates, media, artists and critics. I am an artist, not a theorist, but this book was accessible enough for me to use it to better understand my place in contemporary art practice. The extensive notes can lead you to other excellent sources for research.
