In After the Revolution, the authors concluded that "The battles may not all hav
e been won ...but barricades are gradually coming down, and work proceeds on all
fronts in glorious profusion." Now, with The Reckoning, authors Eleanor Heartne
y, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal, and Sue Scott bring into focus the accompl
ishments of a new generation of women artists who have benefited from the ground
-breaking efforts of their predecessors. Focusing on 2 4 of the most acclaimed i
nternational women artists born since 1960, the book is organized in four themat
ic sections. "Bad Girls" profiles artists whose work represents an assault on co
nventional notions of gender and racial difference.
