520    "Filled with a wide array of illustrations, this book 
       offers a fresh perspective on surrealism as it spotlights 
       the important role that North American women artists 
       played in the movement. The surrealist movement in art is 
       most often identified with male artists, many of whom 
       objectified women in their paintings, casting them as 
       sexual or symbolic ideals. Conversely, the female artists 
       of the movement delved primarily into their own 
       subconscious and dreams. This volume features the work of 
       48 Mexican and U.S.-based women artists whose 
       contributions to the surrealist movement span more than 
       four decades and whose work was both influential and 
       radical in its own right. Thematically arranged, it 
       includes more than 250 full-color images along with 
       several essays exploring the effects of geography and 
       gender on the movement. This unique book illustrates 
       surrealism as a gateway to self-discovery, especially in 
       North America, where women artists were freed from 
       oppressive European traditions and the vagaries of war. 
       From 1931, the year of Lee Miller's first surreal 
       photograph, to 1968, when Yayoi Kusama presented her 
       landmark happening "Alice in Wonderland" in New York's 
       Central Park, the artists and works depicted here are both
       significant and extraordinary in their explorations of 
       personal and universal truths"--|cProvided by publisher.
