Though it’s hard to pinpoint, it’s thought that art historian Linda Nochlin’s essay titled, Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? first sparked the debate when it was published in 1971. Put simply, feminist art is art by artists created consciously in light of developments in feminist art theory in the early 1970s.
But what is feminist art and what sparked a generation of artists to use their work to discuss the inequalities women had faced for centuries? The term “feminist art” gets bandied about a lot, often as a way to neatly categorize an artist’s work or even as a reason to dismiss it.
