!Women Art Revolution is an inspiring documentary about the history of feminist art, poignantly told through the perspectives of artists, curators, and critics, including the Guerrilla Girls, Lucy Lippard, Adrian Piper, Yvonne Rainer, Martha Rosler, Betye Saar, Carolee Schneemann, Nancy Spero, and Marcia Tucker. Mixing multiple visual strategies, Lynn Hershman Leeson filmed her subjects over 40 years, overlaying her footage with political events such as the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, women’s liberation, and the free speech movement. The film acquires further urgency in light of today’s #MeToo movement.
