Indeed  few artistic or social movements can boast as many women forebears  founders  and participantsperhaps only feminism itself. Yet outside the movement  womens contributions to surrealism have been largely ignored or simply unknown. This anthology  the first of its kind in any language  displays the range and significance of womens contributions to surrealism. Letting surrealist women speak for themselves  Penelope Rosemont has assembled nearly three hundred texts by ninety-six women from twenty-eight countries. She opens the book with a succinct summary of surrealisms basic aims and principles  followed by a discussion of the place of gender in the movements origins. She then organizes the book into historical periods ranging from the 1920s to the present  with introductions that describe trends in the movement during each period. Rosemont also prefaces each surrealists work with a brief biographical statement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665871953973,"sku":"ByrdShop_029277088X","price":50.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780292770881.jpg?v=1782411604","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/surrealist-women-an-international-anthology-the-surrealist-revolution-series-9780292770881","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
