Diana Burgess Fuller is an editor, curator, and arts administrator. Daniela Salvioni is an art critic and curator.
"An impressive and illuminating survey of art by women in California during the last half of the 20th century. Some of the images are intentionally shocking and unsettling, some are fanciful and lyrical, some are unashamed works of agitprop, and a few are all of these at once. . . . The art . . . always speaks for itself, and thus allows us to understand what the essayists are trying to say."--"Los Angeles Times Book Review
