Features: Feminist art history is a new trend, perspective, and methodology in contemporary Western art history research, as well as an indispensable part of postmodernist art trends. Since its inception, feminist art history has spanned three decades, evolving from emphasizing the social reasons behind gender differences to adopting sociological, Marxist, and psychoanalytic theories to study the living conditions of women in different social and ethnic environments and their impact on the development of art history. This book selects ten representative and influential Western feminist art history papers, discussing the development of Western feminist art history theory and practice, and showcasing its fundamental characteristics. These papers represent a series of corrections to traditional interpretations of art history, with their common focus being: new interpretations of history and new definitions of the cultural and social functions of art.
