Summary

"This volume addresses the veiled role of Jewishness in the understanding of feminist art in the United States. Lisa Bloom situates the art practices of Jewish feminist artists from the 1970s to the present, from New York City to southern California, in relation to wider cultural and historical issues behind the reticence on the topic of Jewish identities in the visual arts."--BOOK JACKET.
