Critical and controversial, this collection of essays begins the task of exploring the ways in which the arts in Canada have responded over the past decade to the challenge of feminism. It gives voice to some of the struggles Canadian women have experienced positioning themselves as women, as feminists, as cultural producers. Each article focuses on a specific cultural discipline: literature, film, video, theatre, the visual arts, and architecture. No such forum on women in Canada has existed in book form before. Until publication of this ground-breaking anthology, the documentation of what is now a vigorous and expanding artistic practice was both sparse and ephemeral. All of the writers capture the excitement of new visions being forged for and by trail-blazing feminist artists.
