For centuries, the "High Arts" of painting and sculpture belonged to men, while women could pursue such decorative arts as textiles and ceramics. Eventually, women artists began to reclaim and redefine these materials and methods, energizing them with new expressions of identity and imagination. Telling the story of this radical change, this illustrated history profiles such artists as Louise Bourgeois, Dorothea Tanning, Eva Hesse, Judy Chicago, Yayoi Kusama, Faith Ringgold, and the quilters of Gee's Bend, among many others.
