Four decades of feminist art history have prompted a radical
rethinking of the discipline. This volume asks how feminism’s
interventions and propositions are relevant to contemporary
scholarship today. To what extent have developments in global
politics, artworld institutions, and local cultures reshaped the
critical directions of feminist art historians? The significant
new research gathered here engages with the rich inheritance of
feminist historiography since around 1970, and considers how to
maintain the forcefulness of its critique while addressing
contemporary political struggles.

Taking on subjects that reflect the museological, global and
materialist trajectories of twenty-first-century art historical
scholarship, the chapters address the themes of Invisibility,
Temporality, Spatiality and Storytelling. They present new
research on a diversity of topics that span political movements
in Italy, urban gentrification in New York, community art
projects in Scotland and Canada’s contemporary indigenous
culture. Individual chapter analyses focus on the art of Lee
Krasner, The Emily Davison Lodge, Zoe Leonard, Martha Rosler,
Carla Lonzi and Womanhouse. Together with a synthesising
introductory essay, these studies provide readers with a view of
feminist art histories of the past, present and future.
