Reviews

‘…the volume as a whole makes a compelling case for more queer feminist art histories…the essays and dialogues range over twentieth-century and contemporary art and curatorial practice as well as theory, enacting a vibrant debate over queer feminism—its possibilities, challenges, and place in the visual arts and the academy.’
