Endorsements
Addressing the other woman: textual correspondences in feminist art and writing analyses how three visual artists-Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero, and Mary Kelly-worked with the visual dimensions of language In the 1960s and 1970s. Lamm demonstrates that these artists' engagement with text and images of writing to challenge dominant images of women and address viewers and ask them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words and images that reinforce women's subordination. The object of this project is what Lamm identifies as 'the other woman,' a utopian wish to reach other women and correspond with them across similarities and differences. To make the artwork's aspirations to address the other woman concrete, Lamm places these artists in correspondence with three writers-Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, and Laura Mulvey. From alignedhistorical contexts, these writers also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible and expand our understanding of the artists' textual interventions. The work of Davis, Solanas, and Mulvey how deeply the artists were responding to visual culture, and their written efforts to imagine, create, and reach their audiences expands our understanding of how and why the artists turned to text and writing. Sharply composed and rigorously argued, Addressing the other woman will appeal to scholars and students of feminist art history, visual studies, and literature, this book offers a multi-faceted picture of the feminisms that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s.
