Borzello, Frances. A World of Our Own: Women as Artists Since the Renaissance. United Kingdom: Watson-Guptill Publications, 2000. Print.

Much of this book is dedicated to addressing works of women throughout the years and the techniques and subject matter that has been addressed as well as what each individual woman artist accomplished in life. It shows much of their work and talks about the thought process behind it and the history of why the work was created and what it means for women in art as well as talking about the feminist movement and how women are starting to be represented in art in a different way rather than just being the subject of the male gaze in a painting.

This text talks about the struggles women have gone though in society and in the art world and community through all of history. What women have done to obtain positions of power in art galleries but yet still faltering in the area of publicity for women's artwork. It addresses every era and art movement and the women who were the head-runners among men but without as much recognition. It also gives a small overview about individual artists and their accomplishments and why they are of worth among women artists and artists in general.

Guerrilla Girls, The. The Guerrilla Girls Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art. Penguin Group, 1998. Print.

This text gives an overview of the activist group and what they represent and who they represent. This group gives their statement about the rights women should have in art and not only women, but artists of color and women artists of color. They represent the minorities in art and stand for the equalization and for non-discrimination among artists. The history of the group is given and what roles they play in the art world as well as their accomplishments and past women artists since the beginning of time and what they have done for fellow women artists or artists of color.

This text has been the one of the top contributors as to why women are starting to really shake up the way people look at art and how they see women. Accompanying the activist group of the Guerrilla Girls, this text in the eighties has started many discussions as to why women artists have basically been thrown under the bus and not given as much credit as needed or deserved and why women artists are not recognized in the community as well as men and trying to find the underlying reason as to why this epidemic has been occurring over the past few centuries.

This text talks about feminism and how it was introduced in the late 1960's and early 70's. This article also introduces Judy Chicago and her contributions and beginnings in the movement of feminism which I applied to my blog. It also states how women came together to protest and stand for their equality as artists.


Reilly, Maura, and Nochlin, Linda. "Women's Review of Books." Art Without Balls. (2007): 304. Print.

The point of this text was to address the problems with why women are overshadowed by men and what the real reason is for why women are not recognized as much as men for their accomplishments. It also addresses Linda Nochlin's article of “Why Have there Been No Great Women Artists?” and how that article has addressed the underlying problems of the art community.

This source was used to introduce the views of feminism on art. It gave listings of women who have accomplished much in the art world. It also gave a historical background through the ages of the arts and how women contributed but have been overshadowed. The woman as an artist was introduced in this text and what it means to have this profession. The last chapter, which was greatly interesting, expanded upon feminism which is the core of what my blog was about.
