Examining the ways in which women have been viewed, portrayed, and silenced in art history remains a crucial challenge for the discipline. The authors of this volume expose mechanisms of visibility and invisibility, question the male-dominated canon, and offer fresh perspectives on strategies of female and queer self-representation. Historical and contemporary positions enter a dialogue—from early self-portraits to contemporary intersectional approaches. This volume invites readers to reconsider established narratives, so understanding art history as an open field and a dynamic process grappling with power, the body, and identity.
