Equal under the Sky

Equal under the Sky is the first historical study of Georgia OKeeffes complex involvement with, and influence on, US feminism from the 1910s to the 1970s. Utilizing understudied sources such as fan letters, archives of womens organizations, transcripts of womens radio shows, and programs from womens colleges, Linda M. Grasso shows how and why feminism and OKeeffe are inextricably connected in popular culture and scholarship. The womens movements that impacted the creation and reception of OKeeffes art, Grasso argues, explain why she is a national icon who is valued for more than her artistic practice.
