Features: Feminist art, especially women's art, has, from its inception, maintained a "non-cooperative stance" with patriarchal culture in a distinct challenging manner. Female artists consciously employ feminist ideology as a weapon, striving to fulfill their cultural critique mission, actively advocating for the voices of the marginalized "other" in patriarchal society, and working to transform the marginal discourse of an "alternative group" into mainstream discourse. This has garnered attention from the art world and even society at large. Throughout the history of 20th-century world art, feminist art, despite still facing various problems and even crises, has undeniably secured a significant place in contemporary art history. This book collects nearly 60 female artists from China and abroad, listed in chronological order by date of birth. The introduction to each artist is as illustrative and well-documented as possible. There is a considerable number of outstanding female artists from China and abroad, and the focus of this book is on female artists with distinct feminist characteristics and perspectives.
