Woman And Art in Early Modern Latin America

McIntyre (art history, U. of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio) and Phillips (art history, U. of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg) offer a collection of 17 essays on the visual representation of women in early modern Latin America. Noticing the omission of art and architecture of this period in feminist art historical publications, they sought to compile a volume that combines feminist approaches with interdisciplinary methodologies as a means to expand understanding of the topic. Essays are grouped according to forms of representation in places such as Mexico, Peru, and Spain. Some b&w illustrations are included. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
