Review
This collection of essays is a perfect example of just the kind of academic writing that can be of use to a far greater number of people than those within the academy. -- Kelly McDowell An effective review of feminist interventions within the frame of art history over the last 30 years! this edited collection is exemplary in its reflection on the materials of feminist practitioners and their individual positioning in relation to art history. This book is about visual culture, not just art, and the result is a really useful introductory book for students and teachers alike.

Product Description
Visual Culture is all around us: television, dance, film, fashion, painting, sculpture, installation and fine art are only a few of its many faces. Feminist Visual Culture looks at feminist theory, the role of women, and the contribution of women to the world of visual culture. This substantial introduction provides an overview of visual culture and of the origins of feminist practice. In the volume's three sections-Fine Art, Design, and Mass Media-the authors discuss the visual media specific to that area, incorporating wider issues such as class, culture, and ethnicity. Each chapter is written by a woman working in a different field of visual culture. A topical and comprehensive introduction, Feminist Visual Culture will be a valuable tool for readers in women's studies, visual studies and media studies.
