- Description
- Collection of essays that illuminates the lives of late-eighteenth-century to mid-twentieth-century Aboriginal women. Some essays focus on individuals - a trader, a performer, a non-human woman. Other essays examine cohorts of women - wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with questions of gender, race, and identity.

- Description
- Numerous American women artists built successful professional careers in the mid-twentieth century while confronting challenging cultural transitions: shifts in stylistic avant-gardism, harsh political transformations, and changing gender expectations for both women and men. However, while a few women working during these decades have gained significant recognition, many others are still consigned to historical obscurity. The essays in this volume take varied approaches to revising this historical silence. Two focus on evidence of gender biases in several exhibitions and contemporary critical writings: the rest discuss individual artists’ complex relationships to mainstream developments, with attention to gender and political biases, cultural innovations, and the influence of racial/ethnic diversity. Several also explore new interpretative directions to open alternative possibilities for evaluating women’s aesthetic and formal choices.

Conaty: Gender, modern art, and native women painters in the first half of the 20th century / Cynthia Fowler.
