It feels both archival and alive: part chronology, part reader, part visual record of a decade in which women artists were radically remaking what performance could be and what art history was prepared to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst printing, May 1983.
