About Feminist Art

Feminist art rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s following pivotal developments in feminist theory. This time is commonly referred to as First Wave feminist art, and is characterised by an exploration of the feminine form and experience. Since then, feminist art has expanded into themes of womanhood, femininity and social assumptions and restrictions.
