"Nothing we have ever done before will ever be good enough again."

As we continue to celebrate the inauguration of Kamala Harris, the first woman Vice President of the United States, we are delighted to feature these spreads from Primary Information's new facsimile edition of A Documentary HerStory of Women Artists in Revolution, the 1971 compendium of texts and manifestos from women artists on gender and race issues in cultural institutions. "I firmly believe the 70's is the decade of the woman," Muriel Castanis said in a 1973 speech published here in the form of preface to the revised edition. "The women's art movement is revolutionary because it affects every level of the art culture. You especially know the valuable contribution art makes to society's health, and for that health we need the contribution of women for they can reach worlds that men never knew existed, self-imprisoned as they have been in their protective fortress. What W.A.R. began is in your hands now. Now, you are W.A.R.
I heard a marvelous quote for this new year. 'Nothing we have ever done before will ever be good enough again."
We couldn’t agree more.
