WOMEN ART REVOLUTION is a documentary film that will annotate the evolution of the Feminist Art Movement in the United States from 1968 to the present and reveal, through interviews, art, and rarely seen archival film and video footage, how the Movement radically transformed the art of our times. The Feminist Art Movement introduced the concepts of social protest, collaboration, and public art, and it remains characteristically uncompromising its investigations of art that directly addresses personal issues as well as the political imperatives of social justice and civil rights. Overt time, the tenacity and courage of these pioneering women artists paid off, and the Movement became what many historians now feel is the most significant art movement of the late 20th century.
