Reframings : New American Feminist Photographies

This diverse and compelling collection of contemporary feminist visual art is now available in a paperback edition. "Reframings" makes visible what has been for too long nearly invisible: contemporary feminist visual art that represents a remarkable range of perspectives, styles, and subject matter.

The forty-five women who created these works-artists and writers such as Deborah Willis, Carrie Mae Weems, Nan Goldin, and Carm Little Turtle-are connected by a belief that images are political and that today's feminist concerns cannot be separated from such issues as ethnicity, class, age, and sexuality.

They share a consciousness that historically women have been "framed" and can now be "reframed." Diane Neumaier is Associate Professor of Visual Arts at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
