Radical feminist visual art
Lesbian art is a very important part of the radical feminist art. Some radical feminist artists really shacked the patriarchal standards of beauty. Although most of them belong the historical age of second-wave feminism, the 60’s and 70’s, radical feminist art is still appearing.
There are radical feminist radios and sites about female and feminist art. Such a site is http://givideo.org
