In An evening with Fluxus women: a roundtable discussion, hosted at New York University (19 February 2009, 7:00–8:30 p.m.) by Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory and the Department of Performance Studies, a passage from Mieko Shiomi reads "...the best thing about Fluxus, I think, is that there was no discrimination on the basis of nationality and gender. Fluxus was open to anyone who shared similar thoughts about art and life. That's why women artists could be so active without feeling any frustration."

Shigeo Kubota's Vagina Painting (1965), was performed by attaching a paintbrush dipped in red painting to her garment, and moving it over a canvas. The paint evoked a menstrual blood. Vagina Painting has been interpreted as a critique of Jackson Pollock‘s action paintings, and the male-dominated abstract expressionist tradition.
