This was an article I found, that immediately caught my interest. Not because I think it's true but it made me start really thinking about what the word "feminism" means in art today. In trying to think of who I would consider as a feminist artist today, I think we all struggled trying to come up with a few names when we were discussing the topic. In my search online, I also came across the terms post-feminist, second and third wave feminist which basically seemed to be softer definitions of the term feminist. I haven't completely settled on an exact topic because I believe the possibilities are endless on this subject alone.
Does anyone agree with this and could this be an overall topic we could discuss? We could break it down into categories of historical areas such as the start of feminism, guerilla girls and their influence, where are they today (they have a website and travel all over the country which seems a little commercialized to me), Feminist artist of yesterday and today and the differences. I could go on and on but I guess my question is does this sound like something everyone would be interested in? If so - what would be our specific topics? Since everyone is supposed to post their ideas by tomorrow - we'll see if everyone is already heading in that direction.

I think this question needs to make it into the symposium somehow.
All of our ideas seem so all over the board, though I think I could relate my topic to this basic idea, and that the structure of this idea would help me be specific and brief (which I feel will be necessary given our severely limited time frame!)
