On the Book Reviews Editor’s Desk: May 2023

Insightful reviews of volumes on feminist-intersectional theory and on its contemporary history can equip WAJ readers with new paradigms and tools to bring to their own research and artistic practices. I’d love to ship you a complimentary copy of one of these three particularly interesting recent books on this subject from my (digital/physical) desk, if you’ll kindly review the book for WAJ. (Click on the titles to see the publishers’ descriptions of the book.) I hope to hear from you at apoe@womansartjournal.org! Happy reading,
