INTRODUCTION

Creating art is a way of making sense of the world, and our experience in it. Edith Wharton wrote, "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." The artists in "The Feminist Figure" use their talents to investigate their personal concerns, ideas, and obsessions. Their quest to understand themselves in turn becomes an illumination for others.
