BLAZE: Discourse on Art, Women and Feminism is a new anthology that celebrates past victories and charts new directions for today’s second and third wave feminist artists. The book looks at how feminism has matured over the years and the pressing agendas for today’s feminists working in the arts.

Co-editited by Karen E. Frostig and Kathy A. Halamka, BLAZE features fourteen detailed and well-documented feminist histories that narrate a number of pertinent strands of activism regarding feminist art, scholarship, and organizational development while exploring current crossroads.

"BLAZE is a work of love and commitment that chronicles the breadth and depth of American feminist creative practice across generations, as it speculates on the position of women in society and manifests in the making of art."

— Carol Becker, Dean of the School of the Arts, Columbia University
