Addressing the Other Woman

Kimberly Lamm is Associate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University.

'In looking at the decade that occupies a unique place in the ongoing history of the transnational feminist movement, [Lamm has] uncovered hitherto unassessed materials and proposed insightful new readings in the archives of feminism, whilst also presenting us with an archival rearrangement that produces new objects with which to think about art history.'Francesco Ventrell, Art History
