Article Length/Depth The article gives great citations and many sources as well as in-depth information but the article contains many sections that could be narrowed to one section.Shaquillapatterson (talk) 00:04, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a lot of work. The lede is weak, potentially confusing, and does not give sufficient indication of the direction of the article. What other sections would we need to make it complete?

• History
• Media and Content (The Muse, Beauty, The Goddess, Performance, Craft, Book Arts, Quilts, Cunt Art, Motherhood, etc)Feministkilljoy (talk) 21:47, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Leading figures
• Key works
• Relationship to the women's movement
• Legacy
• Other?

Under history, I am not a fan of the division by decade. I don't think that there needs to be such a strict division between 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Perhaps there can be a distinction between Second Wave, Third Wave, and Fourth Wave feminist artists, but even then I think it's much more clear to outline issues.

The start of recent additions has been a nice added touch so far. Giving an in-depth depiction of what feminism is trying to achieve is a great.

Is it possible to discuss possibly in more detail about the different types of medium such as fiber art or such? If these ideas were fleshed out more in the article I imagine it would enrich the article as a whole greatly. Any sort of references to these works would also be beneficial as well. Keep up the good work. Joeycut (talk) 01:50, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As this is a visual topic, the inclusion of more images to showcase what the article may be talking about would improve this article. Images of feminist art or artists who were/are feminist artists would some great images to include. Hmcleod21 (talk) 02:24, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article pays scant attention to feminist art before the 1960s. I'm not expert in the subject, but this seems like a very bold claim. What about the British Famous Women Dinner Service of 1932-1934, for example? The 'history' section needs serious expansion, written with a non-US-favouring approach.

Also, I strongly object to the extremely American-centric opinion "After women gained suffrage in the United States in the early 1920s, a wave of liberalization spread throughout the world, leading to gradual changes in feminist art." Global liberalisation from the 1920s onwards is due to the American women's suffrage movement? I think not. Stronach (talk) 12:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as far as the easily accessible information goes Famous Women Dinner Service was co-created by a man, and commissioned by a man - and, seemingly, hardly got recognition because it wasn't displayed. A quote in its article goes as far as to say that "it is impossible to ascertain" whether other artists even knew the set existed.

On the exceptionally American, or American exceptionalism, view points I agree with you - though it has to be said that America certainly does radiate, culturally. So maybe an edit for tone is in order, but anything more would need to be sourced, I would think. JackTheSecond (talk) 14:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
