Reviews
'In Sister Chapel, Andrew Hottle rescues from scholarly neglect a major collaborative project of the Feminist Art Movement. Embodying the feminist concept of non-hierarchical sisterhood, thirteen women artists created a stylistically diverse yet cohesive circular environment of female heroes, from a feminine-form God to Betty Friedan and Bella Abzug. Deliberately alluding to the Sistine Chapel, they subtly mocked that icon of masculinist theology and challenged its values from the new perspectives of feminism. Hottle's richly detailed text provides an invaluable historical record, with fascinating exchanges among artists and organizers and energetic documentation of every planning stage of this groundbreaking project.' Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard, editors of The Power of Feminist Art 'Thanks to Hottle, 8 of the 11 original paintings for The Sister Chapel are now part of the permanent collection of art at Rowan University, ensuring that, together with this book, the work will continue to be preserved and studied. Recommended.' Choice
