Media Reviews
A compelling account of the way gender has shaped the historical avant-garde, above all in France. She investigates both how the material experience of gender informed men and women's participation in avant-garde movements and the use of gender in avant-garde representations. Her discussion is nuanced, careful to situate the problematic of gender and the avant-garde in its broader social and aesthetic contexts...It is clear that the book will continue to occupy an important place on the shelf of anyone studying the history and theory of the avant-garde both for its scholarship and for its fine close analyses of art and literature.--Margaret Cohen Annals of Scholarship
