It starts in 1985 but I was under the impression that the Guerrilla Girls were working before that.
In 1985, when Ana Mendieta died, they had already formed, but this book doesn’t acknowledge their existence before that nor that they were silent on her death. But they make sure to emphasize their protesting of Carl Andre in 1988

A very good book with great pictures about an important subject of female equality. Easily written and explained with lots of pictures. We need more of this in life!

Great book! Details so much of the important work the Guerrilla Girls have done to this day very matter-of-factly, and much of their work still gets me worked up now which just shows how effective it is. I’m so glad organizations like this exist, and I hope more and more will be made until this world is finally a better place.

This is exactly what we need more of-people unafraid to speak out about the rampant patriarchy that has run much of our world, people not afraid to speak the truth and has the statistics to back it up. This is a glossy and oversized book of the posters and graphics the Guerilla Girls have posted around the downtown NYC area.

Beginning in 1985, posters began appearing all over downtown NYC that exposed the bias and corruption in the world. Art. Film. Politics. Workplace. With bright graphics and thought provoking quotes, these posters named specific art galleries, museums, critics and collectors who contributed to the prejudice against women and artists of color. They included statistics many times, opening many to how deep patriarchy has sunk America.
Wearing Gorilla masks, to protect their safety and identity, I am impressed by their "creative complaining" and necessary campaign. We certainly need more Guerilla women. A gorilla mask in included with this book. Im ready to put mine on!

I love the Guerrilla girls, they are inspiring.
Such serious matters, brought with so much humour is genius.
