In this dynamic analysis of the gender revolution, authors Anne Breneman and Rebecca Mbuh create a platform for scholars from a variety of cultures to reflect upon their experiences as women and men in gendered cultures and upon their visions of prospects for gender equality and empowerment. Conceived during the United Nation's Fourth World Women's Conference in 1995 and continued during the Beijing +5 conference in 2000, this work represents the culmination of a ten-year project involving women from China, Sweden, Korea, Cameroon, Indonesia, South Africa, and the USA. Organized in five parts—Beginning, Women Awakening, Women Arising, Hazards of Growing up Female, and Reflections and Prospects—Women in the New Millennium includes perspectives in the form of scholarship, historical narratives, and interview materials aimed at contributing to public awareness of the global nature of the gender revolution. With their analyses and examples of the expanding gender revolution, Breneman and Mbuh seek to stimulate an interdisciplinary, international dialogue that leads to the further creation of action plans and will ultimately contribute to the empowerment of women and the equality of women and men in the new millennium.

The aim of this book is to call attention to the most famous women who lived---and died---during the last millennium. There are actually thousands and thousands of women during this long period who have a serious claim to being famous, and as a result there may seem to be a certain arbitrariness in the choices of the 234 women whose biographies appear here. It is to be hoped, however, that there will be a general agreement that least upwards of 80 percent of those chosen in this study deserve to be regarded as the most famous. This book makes no claim to "discover" women whose achievements hav not hitherto been properly recognized, for the women's movement has already done much to assure that they have; rather it is just the opposite: to call attention to the contributions of the most famous women who have already established a wide reputation through their achievement, in virtually all of the major fields of endeavor. The book is therefore not intended to be either politically correct or politically incorrect. Rather it presents short biographies of truly famous women of Western civilization in chronological order beginning with the 11th century. A biographical study of this sort tells a great deal about the progress that women have made---and not made---over the past millennium in most of the major areas of achievement. It shows particularly the impact that the gradually expanding education of women has had on the history of Western culture. Even based upon the biographies of so few famous women as appear in this study, it is possible to make some valid observations about the history of their achievements. One may note, for example, that in the early centuries of the millennium most of the famous women were either religious or political figures, or occasionally both, though the same may likewise be said of famous men, because cultural contributions were necessarily limited by the very nature of the times, for both men and women. Many women became saints, just as many men did, though only a few of the influential women saints are represented here. Some influential women religious figures who did not become saints were sometimes charged with being frauds or even witches, as this study shows. One may observe too that among women political figures some wielded enormous power, even during the Middle Ages, at a time when there were no democracies but a plethora of monarchies. Famous women who came to achieve great political power sometimes inherited it, but they were also often queen-consorts of kings who were themselves weak or absent, or occasionally even insane. Women sometimes made their political power felt also through their sons, who often became kings or other men of power but remained under their mothers' influence. Women during these early centuries sometimes achieved power through multiple marriages, which were usually politically arranged. Some had the power of acquiring or giving away large sections of land, of hiring and firing ministers, of declaring war, of achieving peace, of reforming governments, and some, beginning in the 15th and 16th centuries, made many cultural contributions by building buildings and encouraging the arts. Some of them, however, in the end, as this study will show, bec ame so caught up in political intrigue that they suffered as a result of their power by being banished or sent to a nunnery or becoming impoverished, and some were even executed. Some of the women who held power in the early centuries of the millennium ruled over large sections of Italy and France. When they were not the power behind the throne, they were sometimes on the throne. Almost half of 16th century England, for example, was ruled by two women, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Four empresses were rulers in 18th century Rusia, one of them

Artists, art historians, and critics look at the legacies of feminism and critical theory in the work of women artists, more than thirty years after the beginning of the modern women's movement and Linda Nochlin's landmark essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" More than thirty years after the birth of the modern women's movement and the beginnings of feminist art-making and art history, the time is ripe to examine the legacies of those revolutions. In Women Artists at the Millennium, artists, art historians, and critics examine the differences that feminist art practice and critical theory have made in late twentieth-century art and the discourses surrounding it. In 1971, when Linda Nochlin published her essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" in a special issue of Art News, there were no women's studies, no feminist theory, no such thing as feminist art criticism; there was instead a focus on the mythic figure of the great (male) artist through history. Since then, the "woman artist" has not simply been assimilated into the canon of "greatness" but has expanded art-making into a multiplicity of practices with new parameters and perspectives. In Women Artists at the Millennium artists including Martha Rosler and Yvonne Rainer reflect upon their own varied practices and art historians discuss the innovative work of such figures as Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, Mona Hatoum, and Carrie Mae Weems. And Linda Nochlin considers changes since her landmark essay and looks to the future, writing, "We will need all our wit and courage to make sure that women's voices are heard, their work seen and written about."
