In Her Own Image
=== In Her Own Image: Women Working in the Arts is an American feminist anthology published by Feminist Press from Old Westbury, New York on March 1, 1980, and is a part of the Press’ larger series entitled “Women’s Lives, Women’s Work”. Edited by Ingrid Wendt and Elaine Hedges, the book showcases an array of women's works—"poetry, fiction, journal writing, sculpture, painting, pottery, quilts, music, and dance." The magazine, Gay Community News, gives even more examples of what the anthology included, such as: autobiography, essay, letter writing, graphics, and photography. It contains four sections: Household Work and Women’s Art, Obstacles and Challenges, Definitions and Discoveries, and Women’s Art and Social Change. The selections in the anthology illuminate the works from the perspective of the artist. The women’s places in society affected the art they contributed. It should also be noted that the anthology was not expensive to create. Ann Sutherland Harris, a co-author of Women Artists: 1550:1950, once described it as "a fascinating potpourri... This anthology should be read by anyone interested in women artists." ===
