Twenty years ago, the American literary critic Bell Hooks wrote a book called Feminism is For Everybody. She believed that the word “feminist” had come to be misunderstood. Too many people held the view that feminists hated men, went against nature, or were lesbians. In an exhibition that takes the book as its point of departure, and points up the wit and humor of feminists, outstanding works by female artists from the late 1960s to the early 1990s are on view. Think Pipilotti Rist, Tracey Rose, Lorraine O’Grady. —Elena Clavarino
