Women in Revolt! surfaces the lived experiences of a postwar
generation of women artists that have, until now, been overlooked.
These artists spent their careers and lives challenging the
patriarchal power structures, often working in the margins of the
museum system that rejected them, forming communities and finding
new spaces to exhibit and share knowledge. For these artists, the
legacy of trauma and wider global threat of military and nuclear
action sat alongside increasing concern about ecological disaster,
class struggles and protests around decolonisation, racism and
misogyny. This book explores the incredible work created by women
artists during a time of great social and political change,
commencing with the formation of the women’s liberation art group
and key events in 1970 and concluding in 1990, just after the
introduction of Section 28 and the opening of the
YBA Freeze show. It demonstrates how marginalised
women’s needs and experiences were within mainstream culture, and
reveals how these artists used radical ideas and methods to
confront contemporary issues and fight for their place at the
table. Showcasing a wide range of artists working in varied media,
it celebrates a creative and politically engaged community that
paved the way for future generations and changed the face of
British culture.
