Feminist Art

I started taking studio art classes at age five, and although I don't get as much studio time as I'd like nowadays, I maintain a healthy interest in art. I'm also really interested in feminist expression, so you can imagine how excited I was to see some really cool feminist art/commentary on PolicyMic.com.

As an example, here's a piece by Lauren Salazar, called "No More I Love Yous."
