This book has been an unending resource for me. As an activist I am always looking for ways to pay homage to the women who came before as well as create new graphics to communicate ideas. This book is an amazing encyclopedia of little know visual history from throughout the women's movement. Not only should any feminist own this book, but any girl or woman who loves the old school suffrage warriors, rosie the riviter, and the explosive energy of riot grrls.

I do not go anywhere without this book.

While the introduction by Germaine Greer is a little disappointing precisely because it lacks the edge of the rest of the book, overall I would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of the women's movement. Suffragettes and She-Devils incorporates a visual history with short commentary, but unlike other texts, we see the biting and often wacky side of feminism. Instead of photos of activists and protests, the focus is instead on politically-themed visual and commercial art of the movement. An edgy, eye-catching coffee table book for any feminist.
