A fresh perspective on collaboration, collectivity, and conflict in
the women’s art movement of the 1970s  Women Artists
Together is a thought-provoking study of how the women’s
liberation movement galvanized a generation of women artists. It
offers a fresh perspective on the history of the women’s art
movement and considers how it was shaped by collaboration and
togetherness. Retracing 1970s liberation politics, Amy Tobin
emphasizes how artworks emerged from—and contested—feminist
paradigms and contexts. Â Taking class, gender, race, and
sexuality as central concerns, the book includes examples of
inspirational feminist activism as well as fallings out,
disagreements, and antagonism. Across four chapters, Tobin looks at
the work of UK- and US-based artists including Judy Chicago, Mary
Beth Edelson, Rose English, Harmony Hammond, Candace
Hill-Montgomery, Claudette Johnson, Suzanne Lacy, Howardena
Pindell, Ingrid Pollard, Carolee Schneemann, Cecilia Vicuña, and
Kate Walker. Groups include the Feminist Art Programme at Cal Arts,
Women’s Workshop of the Artists’ Union, Where We At, Black
Women Artists Inc., and the South London Art Group, publications
such as Heresies and Chrysalis, along with writers and curators
including Lucy R. Lippard and Arlene Raven.
