Archi-féministes! by Marie-Eve Charron offers an in-depth exploration of the historical and contemporary challenges of feminism in the context of contemporary art. Featuring a significant corpus of works created between 1970 and today, this publication delves into the key feminist movements that continue to resist societal norms and challenge traditional concepts within art history.

The book analyzes feminist manifestations through the lens of resistance practices, activism, civic mobilization, and community engagement, all of which call for a reevaluation of social norms. While grounding the discussion in feminist theoretical models, Archi-féministes! also incorporates cultural, decolonial, and queer studies to propose new forms of knowledge.

Through a series of insightful contributions, this book reveals how feminist art and theory have shaped, and continue to shape, the artistic and social landscape. The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes how art has played a pivotal role in activism and the ongoing struggle for gender equality, offering a critical, thought-provoking perspective on contemporary issues.
