Summary:

"A collective of women artists active from 1973-1986, Mother Art employed performance, installation, photography, video, and printed material to engage the social and political issues of the times. Using narratives of their own as well as those of other women, the group personalized these issues as they affected women's lives at a time of change and turmoil in social and political relations."--T.p. verso.
