Conclusion:

Feminism was an interesting movement to begin with. To watch an entire gender of a species slowly rise as a single uniform voice through out the centuries through art was a very interesting thing and creating an exhibition where you have to find ten different artists. The most fascinating thing about picking ten artists is you start to realize there is a story behind each and every person, with each person there is an even smaller story about each and every painting they create. What came challenging was making sure to pick paintings that can connect each theme from various different painting, because each artist can vary and go off their normal topic of discussion. The job of a curator is extremely interesting, just in the fact you would be able to hear so many different stories and see so many different sides of a certain topic. The way that these artists connect through their gender is extremely intriguing.Each artist as a female is united just by the fact that they are the same gender, but each artist expresses their views on femininity in vastly different ways. A kaleidoscopic of different views on their own identities and what their role as women are.

Ryoko Suzuki

Bind, 2001

Ryoko Suzuki was born in Japan and since then has established herself in America. She uses photography as her medium and says the following about her paining Bind:

"In the series, I bound myself with pigskins, which have been soaked in blood as a symbol of womanhood, as a symbol of the given world. I was thinking and feeling of my life, in which I had transformed from a child who just took what adults provided to a woman who leaded her own life, while I wrapped up my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears with the pigskin. The series is a record of consideration with the action"

Susan Grabel 

Venus in Proliferation. 2006.

Susan Grabel emphasizes the use of figurative sculpture and exhibiting for over 35 years. Her work on the human dimensions of social and political issues like consumerism, homelessness, alienation and aging women’s’ bodies is in the humanistic tradition of Kathe Kollwitz. 

Jennifer Linton

St. Ursula and the Gorgon's Head I 1999

 Linton’s art address gender-related issues and represent the experiences of women.  Linton’s work reflects her personal experiences filtered through the lens of  mythology and popular culture. She states:
"St. Ursula, the patron saint of schoolgirls, and transformed her into a guardian angel/sword-wielding avenger for the purposes of exploring themes of abuse, female sexuality and the concept of virginity."

Candice Raquel Lee

Athena: Birth Of Wisdom (16h x 14w x 14 D with black granite base- 2006

"I relish the challenge of intricate double figures precisely because physical contact expresses bodily communication even more vividly through multiple points of complex and subtle movement. Adam doesn't just stand beside Eve, her muscles push against his, resisting; limbs entwine in a geometry of motion. True interaction is visible, exposing narrative relations." - Candice Raquel Lee

Her sculptures are intricate detailed pieces that emphasize the woman body in a fantasy form expressing intense emotion through touch and movement within her pieces

Caroline Folkenroth

Vulnerability 2001

"Her work is more fantastical and has a fantasy/folk art style, as she often uses themes of fantasy in her work. Her more recent works during the 2004-2005 period have become drastically more sombre and gothic." Her art is whimsical in nature. depicting portraits of femals and their inner emotions giving quiet women a voice through her choice of color posture and posture.
