Feminist Art Criticism : an anthology by Arlene Raven; Cassandra Langer; Joanna Frueh
Publication Date: 1991-11-13
The essays in Feminist Art Criticism are theoretical, and we selected them for several reasons. They show a diversity of concerns, the contributors' work has not been either widely disseminated or readily available, and the essays demonstrate a continuous feminist discourse in art from the early 1970s through the present, a discourse that is neither monolithic nor intellectually trendy but that rather exhibits many elements.
Inside the Visible : an elliptical traverse of 20th century art in, of, and from the feminine by Catherine De Zegher (Editor); Griselda Pollock; Bell Hooks; Judith Wilson

Published on the occasion of a major exhibition opening at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, Inside the Visible presents a gendered reading of more than 30 women artists of vastly different background and experience.

Flowers and Towers : Politics of Identity in the Art of the American New Woman by Nira Tessler
Publication Date: 2015
This book explores the meaning and symbolism of the flower motif in the art of women artists, from the nineteenth century to the present day. It begins with a discussion of the symbolic significance of the flower in canonical texts such as the Song of Songs, in which the female lover is likened to a "lily among the thorns," and to an "enclosed garden." These allegorical images permeated into Christian iconography, attaining various expressions in the plastic arts from the twelfth through nineteenth centuries.
