Bourgeois’ Femme Maison

imagery became a symbol of the feminist art movement in the late 60s and in the 70s. Women in particular brought attention to the body and to issues of biography and personal feelings into artworks. Bourgeois had always been dealing with these things, so the Femme Maison image was very resonant with feminist artists, and I find that it’s still resonant with women.
