This is a wonderful career survey of this brave artist. Her experience as a feminist artist painter sculptor film maker performer dancer thinker is very inspirational. Carolees relationship to her sexual body and the power of transformation throught the body is so very human healing strong and deeply intelligent. The power of feminist art to change art history and change the world is seen through her performances and paintings. For me the work in this book demands that I remember the struggle women artits had and still have- its only been 30 - 40 years of feminist body art! Let us never forget the struggles of these great artists who are women....This is a wonderful book!

Carolee Schneemann has enjoyed a long, fascinating life and career. Art History courses often cover her work but choose to focus on "Interior Scroll", "Site" (Robert Morris) and "Meat Joy". Carolee Schneemann has been working consistently since the 1960s and is sold short in these courses. She is a maverick of 20th century art in performance, video and installation; not to mention a gifted writer, thinker who shows us all that we can, in fact be closer to ourselves, as living art and artists of dailyness and magic.
