Exploring themes such as gender inequality, sexuality, domestic life, personal experiences and the female body, A Little Feminist History of Art is a celebration of one of the most ambitious, influential and enduring artistic movements to emerge from the twentieth century.

This book is a short and pithy introduction to some of the most important artworks borne out of this movement. Fifty outstanding works – from the late 1960s to the present – reflect women’s lives and experience, as well as the changing position of women artists, and reveal the impact of feminist ideals and politics on visual culture.

A great gift book for anyone interested in feminism, and the history of sexuality and gender, it includes drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation and performance art from a range of artists who expanded the very definition of art to be more inclusive.
