Feminist Art is defined as, "Art that seeks to challenge the dominance of men in both art and society, to gain recognition and equality for women artists, and to question assumptions about womanhood. " (See https://www.moma.org/collection/terms/feminist-art)

The late 1960's is really where the feminist art movement took place. Although there are multiple pieces of art that have influenced this movement in years to come, the late 60's/70's is a notable time for female artists.

Prior to this movement, women were disguising anything feminine in their work in fear that if the public knew it was created by a woman that it wouldn't be successful.

Feminist art does involve the body and nude figures, but this isn't in the sense of an erotic way. A lot of art pieces only included women when they were featured nude. In fact, 85% of the nude art pieces in the Modern Art section at the Met Gala were women but less than 5% of the artists were women.

The time of the movement was a major contributor to the success of it. During the 1970's there were a lot of social issues being brought to light. The world was entering a time period of reform and growth. As ideology began to open up, so did a window for the feminist art movement. (see http://www.arthistoryarchive.com/arthistory/feminist/)
During this time it was a second wave of feminism that was able to show the world that women are more capable than the boxes they had been once placed in. Issues more advanced such as reproductive rights for women began to took root. (See https://courses.lumenlearning.com/vccs-soc200-17sp/chapter/reading-the-womens-movement/

Judy Chicago is a female artist who has created multiple art pieces in hopes to bring light and recognition to the accomplishments of women everywhere. She has been deemed a pioneer that has paved a way for other female artists to be accepted in a once male dominated society.

She created a famous art installation named "The Dinner Party." This piece showcased multiple famous female influences and displayed their names at each seat at the dinner table. The piece shows that women now have a seat at the table and that we will not forget those who have given their all to better our society, namely the women who didn't receive the recognition they deserved in their lives.

The Guerrilla girls are a group of anonymous feminists who fight for change among racial inequality and gender bias. They wear Guerrilla masks and have named themselves after famous dead female artists.

They try to replicate male do gooders such as Robin Hood, but they have their female spin on it. Their group formed after the fact that the MoMA conducted an exhibition of 169 artists and only 13 of those featured were women.

The group has asked to be featured in multiple different museums where they actually contest the museums that invited them into their exhibits. They are focused solely on giving women a fair and fighting chance in the world of art. (see https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/guerrilla-girls-6858/who-are-guerrilla-girls)
