The Woman Question 1550–2025

Description

A feminist study of creative agency by renowned curator Alison M. Gingeras.

Through contributions from eminent experts, including feminist art historian Griselda Pollock and philosopher Chiara Bottici, and detailed notes on one hundred select artworks with images, The Woman Question 1550–2025 brings together over five centuries of cultural production to address ways gender, power, and agency have intersected over time. It challenges the notion that women artists before the twentieth century were rare exceptions.

This transhistorical book and accompanying exhibition curated by Alison M. Gingeras demonstrate that while often underrecognised and working against various social prohibitions, women have had continuous creative agency—and have exercised their artistic power in decisive ways to assert their vital presence and unique lived experiences.
