The Guerrilla Girls are a group of Feminist women who promote their views and opinions through various types of art work. This anonymous group began in the 1980's and their work continues to inspire many artists up until the present day.
This is how they describe themselves:
We’re feminist masked avengers in the tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Wonder Woman and Batman. How do we expose sexism, racism and corruption in politics, art, film and pop culture? With facts, humor and outrageous visuals. What have we done for you lately? Our work has been passed around the world by our tireless supporters. We’ve appeared at over 90 universities and museums in recent years, as well as in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Bitch, Mother Jones and Artforum; on NPR, the BBC and CBC; and in many art and feminist texts. We are authors of stickers, billboards, many, many posters and other projects, and several books including The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art. We’re part of Amnesty International’s Stop Violence Against Women Campaign in the UK; we're brainstorming with Greenpeace; and we put up a new billboard in Hollywood just in time for the 2006 Oscars. WHAT'S NEXT? More creative complaining! More facts, humor and fake fur! More appearances, actions and artworks. We could be anyone; we are everywhere.
