Their works are provocative, radical, poetic or ironic… Presenting the work of 64 women artists, this book reveals how, in the 1970s, they took control of female representation in photography, video and performance art.

By drastically changing the perception of women in art, and going against the traditional projection of male fantasies, these artists have created a new “image of women”. The book, through five main themes (Housewives, Mothers, Wives; Enclosure/Evasion; Beauty Dictates/Female Bodies; Female Sexuality; Identity/Role Play), presents a wide variety of works, which in turns denounce sexism, social inequalities or the structures of patriarchy.
