Description

In her candid memoir, Patricia Hills takes us into the nitty-gritty world of museum curating, academic teaching, and artmaking. When the art establishment balked at her contrarian views, Hills took a stand against racist attitudes, gender bias and patriarchy. Art World Feminist probes the cultural and political minefields in the US, while offering an insider view of the counterculture, the feminist movement, anti-racism and left politics in the art world. It is the tale of a resilient woman's unconventional breakthrough into the male club and a powerful pushback to the right-wing attacks on American history in the world of art and beyond. Art World Feminist describes the patriarchal traditions of museums and universities in the 1950s and 1960s, and how one brave woman challenged those attitudes and traditions. It illustrates how a courageous art curator can change the practice of museums and bring to the public's eye marginalized and forgotten artists and subjects.
