Feminism has had a crucial impact on late twentieth-century art, inspiring some of the most pioneering developments in sculpture, painting, performance, photography, film and installation. The art world has been transformed by feminists who at the same time have been among its chief critics. It has redefined the very terms of late twentieth-century art, exposing assumptions about gender, politicizing the link between private and public and stressing the specificity of art marked by gender, race, age and class. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSelected by editor and researcher Helena Reckitt, this collection presents the rich diversity of art informed and shaped by feminism for decades.
