Opis

Women have been making art for centuries, yet their work has often been seen as secondary or has gone unrecognized altogether. Mobilizing contemporary feminist thinking, Marsha Meskimmon questions why this should be so and what it would take for us to realise the extent of women's extraordinary contribution to the arts.
