"Roots of the Feminist Art Movement"

The "Roots of the Feminist Art Movement" trace back to the 1960s and 1970s, when women artists sought to challenge traditional roles and showcase their perspectives. They aimed to address gender inequality in the art world, which often ignored or marginalized female artists. Influenced by broader feminist movements advocating for women's rights, these artists used their work to explore women's experiences, challenge stereotypes, and promote equality. Key moments include the formation of feminist art groups and exhibitions that spotlighted women’s contributions, helping to reshape art history and challenge patriarchal norms in society and the arts.
