Feminist art is a category of art associated with the feminist movement of the late 1960s and 1970s. Feminist art highlights the societal and political differences women experience in their lives. The goal of this art form is to bring a positive and understanding change to the world,leading to equality or liberation. Media used range from traditional art forms,such as painting,to more unorthodox methods such as performance art,conceptual art,body art,craftivism,video,film,and fiber art.
