From the author of the enormously successful Graffiti World comes this spectacular follow-up, celebrating the contributions of women to contemporary graffiti and street art.

Female writers have always been in the vanguard of the graffiti movement, though often shunted to the sidelines by their male counterparts. This exhaustive volume places them front and center, featuring 1,000 full-color illustrations from some of the worlds most prominent artists, including Brazils Nina, Japans Sasu, Mexicos Peste, and the Americans Lady Pink, Swoon, and Miss 17. Two eight-page fold-out collages, a fold-out poster jacket, and an authoritative text round out the impressive package. The first and only comprehensive survey of its kind, this book is sure to attract and expand upon the wide and enthusiastic readership that made Graffiti World such a runaway success.

RELIEF!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2012

To look at all the SICK burners done by women, and read their comments and thoughts was a bit overwhelming for me. In a good way... it makes me proud, and gives me inspiration. Its well done, fair, good quality and decent length. The art of graffiti itself is (usually) gender-less, but the culture is NOT. The bits about each artist clearly illustrate every woman has a different take on it.
Reading this book and looking at the photos gave me chills down my spine. I no longer feel the alienation that I've began to experience being involved in this subculture. I will have this book for the rest of my life, and it will have the spine taped due to so much use.
Oh, and this book ISN'T a chick book. It is for ANYONE who writes or appreciates graffiti. Point blank. A lot of guys I know could use a book like this... and perhaps read it as well as look.
No brainer.... BUY IT if you are reading the reviews to see if you might like it or not!
EDIT: It’s almost 9yrs since OG review. Still a centerpiece book & I just reread it in FULL. Wow. Great book, only wish there wasn’t still a need.
(Folks, one writer from my city is in here, sadly, I’m FAR behind her, but next in terms of being up & longevity. I don’t belong in a book like this 🤣! Have watched a few start to get good & up then stop. I’ve had to take breaks w/ injuries, but never not a writer to the confusion of loved ones.) GET UP STAY UP!!!

Great to see a range of art styles from talented women of the graffiti world. Perhaps would be nice to see some more characters and less graffiti text, but that's just me. There's a lot of art packed into this though and a range of styles. The introductory text is interesting as well.

Amazing bombers and great art. Good coverage of a neglect minority of women who dare to express themselves via a spray can in a male-dominated medium.

The artworks and tags in this book are amazing! I think it is so cool to have women be displayed for their work. The book was jam packed with colors and background on a phenomenal group of women from all over the world!
