How artists have mobilized the association between women and magic to challenge ideas of sexuality and gender identity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom witches and clairvoyants to high priestesses, femininity and the magical are inextricably linked in cultures across the globe. This age-old connection has long shaped beliefs and notions of femininity, while also creating a pretext for demonizing women that reinforced patriarchal social structures. For artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, associations between women and the occult have offered an exciting opportunity to explore themes such as body and gender, women's sexuality, and the essentialization of gender identity--often from a feminist perspective. This book is a must-have now that occult themes and rituals are enjoying a comeback in mainstream culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book includes works by Myrlande Constant, Cordula Ditz, Mary Beth Edelson, Bev Grant \/ W.I.T.C.H., Vivian Greven, Rebecca Horn, Ana Mendieta, Zanele Muholi, Wangechi Mutu, Rosana Paulino, Paloma Proudfoot, Gillian Wearing, and Portia Zvavahera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Draiflessen Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777447179","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48016439836809,"sku":"9783777447179","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_496e0443-1ab5-4908-ab66-57d0c176c214.jpg?v=1787687251","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/magical-women-9783777447179","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
