“My pussy, my copyright.”
This claim, which resonates like a punchline, marks the performances of Luxembourg's Deborah De Robertis. She reminds us that in art, women's voices fight against centuries of misogyny and sexism; like the more insidious violence they also face: that of only being able to identify with "great men."
Where are the women in the history of “old-fashioned” art?
The history of women's art is, however, as rich in twists and turns as that of men. They are ingenious, adventurous, libertarian artists, Wonder Women. Telling their story is about the fight against gender stereotypes, but it also invites as many people as possible to question the construction of cultural norms that have perpetuated discrimination based on sex, race, and class. Women's art is disturbing because it opposes gender prejudice, social domination, injustice, and exclusion due to the simple fact of being different.
This book about Wonder Women is an inclusive art history, without hierarchies of art, culture, or gender. It's a story that begins with the humiliations they experienced and becomes the great story of emancipation through art. It's a story that gives women back the copyright to their view of the world.
