Beyond the Frame Feminism and Visual Culture, Britain 1580-1900

Beyond the Framerewrites the history of "Victorian" art to explore the relationship between feminism and visual culture in a period of heady excitement and political struggle. In this rich and challenging study, Deborah Cherry discusses painting, sculpture, photography, engravings, embroidery and comic drawings of the period, to build a picture of how artists participated in the social upheaval of the day. The author explores how political activities such as campaigning for or against women's rights or speaking out on sexuality intervened in the visual languages of the day to create challenging new images of women.Cherry, Deborah is the author of 'Beyond the Frame Feminism and Visual Culture, Britain 1580-1900' with ISBN 9780415107273 and ISBN 041510727X.
