Seeing Ourselves
Frances Borzello
A gorgeous art book of selfportraits by female artists. It has a feminist text describing female artists difficulties in finding training, markets and recognition. Doreen liked the earlier works but disliked the more modern stuff(photographs of the artist carrying a large dead fish over her shoulder,disfiguring plastic surgery performed on the artist under local anaesthetic).
