With a generous understanding of feminism's complexities and the fraught position American modernism allotted women artists, Grasso . . . produced a rich, thoughtful study that contributes substantially to scholarship on O'Keeffe and reconfigures pervasive ideas about the relationships among women, visual art, and feminism.--New Mexico Historical Review

Offers a fresh look at Georgia O'Keeffe and the multiple ways that feminism shaped her art, artistic identity, and career. Drawing from rich primary sources, including fan letters to O'Keeffe and media coverage of the artist, Linda M. Grasso demythologizes O'Keeffe's self-representation as a gender-transcendent great American modernist and gives us a picture of O'Keeffe's art as political and intricately connected to the feminist movements that shaped modernism and twentieth-century American culture.--Donna Cassidy, author of Marsden Hartley: Race, Region, and Nation
