In Her Own Image
Women Working In The Arts
In Her Own Image brings together the work of Western women artists, past and present, in a stunning array of forms: poetry, fiction, autobiography, essay, journal and letter writing, sculpture, painting, graphics, photography, ceramics, needlework, music, dance.
Through these selections, which include 57 illustrations, we learn about the unique experience of the woman artist, not as others have seen her, but from the viewpoint of women artists themselves, from diverse ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds.
The four sections – Household Work and Women’s Art, Obstacles and Challenges, Definitions and Discoveries, Women’s Art and Social Change – trace important relationships between women’s art and women’s social conditions.
