American Women Artists, 1935-1970: Gender, Culture, and Politics

Many American women artists built careers in the twentieth century while confronting huge cultural transitions. These upheavals provoked intellectual and aesthetic tensions; whilst a few women gained recognition, others are still consigned to obscurity. This volume offers new scholarship in American art history and feminist studies.
