Summary:
"There is an a historical debt to female mural painters in Mexico. If documented at all, their involvement in one of the countryœs most important cultural movements is most often presented as secondary. This book reconstructs and reclaims the art practice of women who took part in and reshaped this cultural phenomenon. Each of these womenœs bodies of work opens up new perspectives on the history of Muralism in Mexico."--Dina Comisarenco Mirkin.
