This fiftieth anniversary edition features Linda Nochlin's groundbreaking essay, recognized as a foundational work in feminist art theory, alongside her reflections from three decades later. Nochlin's seminal piece is often viewed as the first serious attempt at a feminist history of art. In her revolutionary approach, she challenged the question of why there were no 'great women artists' by dismantling the very notion of greatness itself, exposing the male-centric assumptions that have dominated art history. With sharp insight and wit, she critiqued the acceptance of a white male perspective and argued that true progress requires women to embrace uncertainty and disrupt existing art institutions to create new ones. This edition includes "Thirty Years After," a reappraisal written during a time of flourishing feminist, queer, race, and postcolonial theories. In this reflection, Nochlin examines the emergence of a new canon, referencing artists like Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, and Cindy Sherman. Her essay has become a rallying cry that continues to resonate today, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality in the art world. As Nochlin stated in 2015, "There is still a long way to go." The edition includes 13 black-and-white illustrations.
