SynopsisEdited by Cornelia Butler, Alexandra Schwartz. Introductions by Cornelia Butler, Griselda Pollock, Aruna D'Souza., Individuals:Women Artists in the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art represents the first effort by a major North American museum to examine its collection in light of feminist scholarship of the past three decades. Featuring illustrated essays by nearly fifty writers, including both MoMA curators and outside scholars, among them many of the strongest voices in current research on art and gender, this groundbreaking publication presents a range of generational and cultural perspectives.

Organized chronologically into three sections - Early Modernism, Mid-Century and Contemporary - the book comprises both long and short essays emphasizing new research on women artists within these historical time periods.
