description: Drawing on her study of nine women in the visual arts, Collet (art education, La Trobe U, Australia) analyzes the obstacles they've faced, the dominant discourses they've encountered, and the counter discourses they've formulated and adopted in order to sustain their careers in the traditional institutions of art reception, the appreciation of art, and art production. She considers art history, representations of women in the arts, language and research methodology, asking women's questions, a feminist poststructuralist methodology, mainstream discourses, negotiating interpretations, and contesting the mainstream discourses.
