The writings focus on art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective, combining classic texts by leading feminist thinkers with polemical new pieces. Articles are grouped into thematic sections, addressing: representation: difference: disciplines/strategies: mass culture/media interventions: body: technology. Each section opens with an introduction by the editor. Amongst others: Why have there been no great women artists? / Linda Nochlin. P. 229-233
The authors explore the current period in feminism, know by many as the 'third wave'. Four sections genealogies, sex and gender, popular culture, challenges interrogate the wave metaphor and, through questioning the generational account of feminism, move feminist theory beyond the present impasse between modernism and postmodernism and indicate possible future trajectories for the feminist movement.
