description: Leading scholars offer new readings of Degas representations of the family, prostitution, city life &amp; leisure in which looking at women is shown to be a complex &amp; ambiguous process. A major topic is the encounter between feminism &amp; art history. Having put images of women on the agenda of cultural analysis, feminist interventions in the theory &amp; analysis of representation have created a diverse &amp; intricate field of interpretation which now supercedes that formulation. These essays challenge art history to confront issues of spectatorship, the interface of class &amp; gender, identification &amp; the politics of vision. Illustrated.
