Selected Bibliography on Feminism, Art and Politics

This bibliography is in no way compre-
hensive, nor does it include the many
books and publications already well
known to feminists. Instead, we have tried
to present lesser-known articles and pamph-
lets along with works that we feel are
essential to an understanding of the rela-
tionship of feminism, art and politics.
