Suffragettes to She-Devils: Women’s Liberation and Beyond

(Preface) 'The fight for women's rights worldwide has been one of the great power struggles of the twentieth century, and its graphic expression has been central to this battle. Suffragettes fo She-Devils captures the excitement of women's revolutionary campaigns and movements from the vibrant visual identity of the militant suffra-gettes, through the humour and sniping of the cartoons of Women's Lib in the sixties, to the virtual-reality explorations of end-of-the-century cyberfeminists. It studies the developing role of graphics and related media in the struggle for women's liberation, focusing on the way women have used graphics as a tool for their empowerment - finding a voice through visual or graphic means. The material used to promote women's issues is phenomenal and Suffragettes to She-Devils is a sourcebook of some of the world's most arresting graphic images. It features an enormous variety of posters, badges, billboards, logos, artworks, adverts, computer graphics and much more, reflecting the ways in which women of all ages and cultures have created avenues for communication on a worldwide network and have fostered social change, challenging male-dominated discourses through their powerful graphic expression.'
