Reframings

This diverse and compelling collection of contemporary feminist visual art is now available in a paperback edition. Reframings makes visible what has been for too long nearly invisible: contemporary feminist visual art that represents a remarkable range of perspectives, styles, and subject matter. The forty-five women who created these works -- artists and writers such as Deborah Willis, Carrie Mae Weems, Nan Goldin, and Carm Little Turtle -- are connected by a belief that images are political and that today's feminist concerns cannot be separated from such issues as ethnicity, class, age, and sexuality. They share a consciousness that historically women have been \u0022framed\u0022 and can now be \u0022reframed.\u0022
