• "In the 1970s, the West Coast feminist arts movement coalesced around the Woman's Building in Los Angeles. Founded by artist Judy Chicago, the Woman's Building was conceived as a "public center for women's culture." Women from across the country were drawn there to be part of a community engaged in the exploration of what a female-centered culture might mean." "In Insurgent Muse, Terry Wolverton chronicles her own 13-year involvement in the Woman's Building. Arriving as a young art student in 1976, she stayed on to become a teacher and co-founder of the Lesbian Art Project and, eventually, the Building's executive director. Her journey - emblematic of many women who sought to redefine themselves in the light of feminism - entails confrontation with the damages of sexism, the pitfalls of utopian community, and the forces of social backlash."--BOOK JACKET.
