Product details


Product Description

Review
"Important and stimulating. Its detailed accounts of major women dadas...are exceptionally valuable for the new historical information they contain." - Rachel Blackwell, The Bloomsbury Review; "Women in Dada performs an important function not merely in reviving lost reputations, but in raising issues that are as hot - if not as new - today as they were in the Dada epoch." - Linda Nochlin, Bookforum; "While this anthology is essential reading for those interested in Dada or feminist art, it also fascinatingly documents the milieu of the early twentieth-century avant-garde in all of its personal complexities and social entanglements." - Jim Drobnick, Parachute"

Product Description
This text argues that women's changing role in European and American society was critical to the Dada spirit and movement. Debates about birth control and suffrage, a declining male population and expanding female workforce, the emergence of the "New Woman", and Freudianism were among the forces that are seen to have contributed to the Dadaist enterprise. Among the female dadaists discussed are the German emigre Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven; Berlin dadaist Hannah Hoch; French dadaists Juliette Roche and Suzanne Duchamp; and Zurich dadaists Sophie Taeuber and Emily Hennings. The volume also discusses issues of colonialist racism, cross-dressing and dandyism, and the gendering of the machine.
