A Little Feminist History of Art is an accessible introduction to feminist art history, tracing the work of women artists from the late 1960s to the present.

Drawing on fifty key works, Charlotte Mullins offers a focused, visual entry point into a movement that reshaped how art engages with gender, identity, and lived experience. Mullins explores how women artists have challenged the male-dominated art world, altering visual culture, and redefining the boundaries of artistic expression.

From painting and photography to performance and installation, this book highlights how feminist artists have used the "female gaze" to confront issues of gender, identity, sexuality, and the commodification of the female body. It celebrates the radical creativity and enduring impact of artists who expanded the definition of art to include personal experience, domestic life, and political activism.

Accessible and richly illustrated, this expanded edition is essential reading for anyone interested in feminism, art history, and the transformative power of visual storytelling.

A Little Feminist History of Art is a celebration of one of the most enduring and influential artistic movements of the modern era.
