description: This volume is the third in an influential series of anthologies by editors Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard that challenge art history from a feminist perspective. Following their Feminism and Art Questioning the Litany (1982) and The Expanding Feminism and Art History (1992) this new volume identifies female agency as a central theme of recent feminist scholarship. Framed by a lucid and stimulating critical introduction twenty-three essays on artists and issues from the Renaissance to the present written in the 1990s and after offer a nuanced critique of the poststructuralist premises of 1980s feminist art history.
