- This is a revised second edition, which includes reproductions of previously published works. Robinson changed substantially the selection of texts and re-wrote their introductions. The new anthology contains 88 texts from North America, Europe and Australasia, covering 45 years of feminist debates in art; only one-third of the texts from the ninety-nine included in nine sections have been retained from the first edition (Blackwells, 2001)._
There are seven sections in the new edition, with each of the materials arranged both thematically and chronologically. The book starts with overviews of ‘Gender in/of Culture’ and examples of Curating Feminisms in major global exhibitions of feminist art. The section ‘Activism and Institutions’ considers Challenging Patriarchal Structures /Towards Feminist Structures/Activism in Practice / Education with reference to critiques and institutional-building of feminist initiatives. ‘Historical and Critical Practices’ looks at Interrogating ‘Art History’ / Feminist/Writing in art criticism and cultural studies. ‘Materials, Practices, Choices’ discusses Aesthetic Choice / Craft / Painting / New Media or cyberfeminisms. ‘Representing Women’ offers reassessments of Between Image and Representation and The Artist’s Body in the Artwork. ‘Sex, Sexuality, Image’ reproduces some texts on Sexuality and the Sexual Body and Lesbian and Queer Practices. The book concludes with a section on ‘Identity, Geography, Citizenship’ on Projections and stereotypes / Political Violence / Global Citizens.
The focus of the new book is on developments from the 1990s onwards moving towards global contemporary art, while retaining a briefer overview of key texts from earlier periods, which remain Anglo-American in origin.
