“After revolution: women who transformed contemporary art” by Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal and Sue Scott
“This book examines the rise of women artists in the late 20th century, viewed through the work of 12 key figures. Following a comprehensive essay that looks back at the recent history of women artists, the authors examine the careers of an international selection of artists–Marina Abramovic', Louise Bourgeois, Ellen Gallagher, Ann Hamilton, Jenny Holzer, Elizabeth Murray, Shirin Neshat, Judy Pfaff, Dana Schutz, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, and Nancy Spero–considering each figure's accomplishments and her influence on contemporaries and younger artists.”
