Table of ContentsReviews'Re-Framing Representations of Women is nothing short of exhilarating - a cultural collaboration on a grand scale among scholars, artists, curators, and storytellers. The feminist images and essays assembled by editor Susan Shifrin provide the most comprehensive and nuanced picture to date of women in art, literature, fashion history, and material culture.' Wendy Steiner, University of Pennsylvania, USA 'Re-Framing Representations of Women is an exciting collection of pictures and texts that encourages critical thinking about gender in our visual world. This ambitious multimedia project examines medical engravings, advertisements and material culture from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and responses to these images in contemporary art to stimulate viewers' understanding of how ideas about women have been constructed and disseminated. It provides an engaging transnational journey for readers to explore the representations of gender in the past and imagine the paths to be created for the future.' Bridget Cooks, University of California, Irvine, USA '...thoughtfully designed and well-illustrated volume... Recommended.' Choice 'This is a physically sumptuous book, beautifully designed with a high quality of image reproduction and a work that offers a significant contribution to existing debates around this issue in a lively and accessible manner.'
