Description

The Women Who Changed Art Forever is a vibrant graphic novel that tells the compelling stories of four pioneers of feminist art: Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, Ana Mendieta, and the Guerilla Girls.

These remarkable women each left an indelible mark on the art world in their own powerful way. Judy Chicago challenged us to reassess the female body, while Faith Ringgold emphasized that feminism is for everyone. Ana Mendieta became a poignant symbol for the fight against violence towards women, and the Guerilla Girls have persistently taken the battle to the male-dominated museum world.

This graphic novel presents each of their stories in a unique and colourful style, ensuring their contributions to art and feminism are remembered and celebrated.
