Kate Tatsumi
Feminism, Art, Ideology
Before we even start reading about feminism, there are some things (or maybe A LOT ) that we need to know about it.
“The idea of the man-hating feminist is just one of the most dangerous myths about feminism. It’s the systems of oppression which allow inequality to flourish that feminists hate.
Women aren’t always angry—women don’t get angry for ‘no reason’. If women are angry, it’s because we have good a reason to be — we are subjected to significant levels of violence – sexual, family, maternal, reproductive – and workplace and labour inequalities. “
-Old Mistresses: Women, Art, and Ideology by Griselda Pollock and Rozsika Parker
