Confessions of the Guerrilla Girls. How a Bunch of Masked Avengers Fight Sexism and Racism in the Art World with Facts, Humor and Fake Fur

Since 1985, a group of anonymous women wearing gorilla masks and brandishing glue brushes have taken zap actions at the art world´s "stale, male, Yale" establishment. Their wonderfully smart-ass posters (example: "Advantages of being a woman artist: Working without the pressure of success, knowing your career might pick up after you´re eighty...") have bedecked city walls, converted elitist curators, become collector´s items, and even found their way into museum collections. Their work - and this book - offers proof that humor is a great, blunt-edged weapon against evil.
