Book Synopsis
Focuses on the critical role that women artists have played in the evolution of the American avant-garde. Drawing upon broadly conceptualized notions of collage aesthetics and performance art, this work may appeal to those interested in the cultural history of the avant-garde and the role that feminist experimental artists have played in it.

Trade Review
