Résumé
Equal under the Sky is the first historical study of Georgia O&’Keeffe&’s complex involvement with, and influence on, US feminism from the 1910s to the 1970s. Utilizing understudied sources such as fan letters, archives of women&’s organizations, transcripts of women&’s… radio shows, and programs from women&’s colleges, Linda M. Grasso shows how and why feminism and O&’Keeffe are inextricably connected in popular culture and scholarship. The women&’s movements that impacted the creation and reception of O&’Keeffe&’s art, Grasso argues, explain why she is a national icon who is valued for more than her artistic practice.
