Hot Flashes from the Guerrilla Girls
Spring 2010
|
Greetings!
Hard to believe the Guerrilla Girls turn 25 this May! Some things have changed since we first donned our gorilla masks. For one thing, it's now a no-brainer that any history without the voices of women and people of color is incomplete. But there's still lots to do: there's a crushing glass ceiling in the world of museums, galleries and auction houses; Hollywood and the media still feed us updated versions of old claustrophobic stereotypes, served up by a mostly white male industry; pop culture assaults women from every direction with false, unattainable images of what we should be; and millions of women worldwide live without basic human rights.
