In Lippard's, What Is Female Imagery, I found that Lippard and I shared similar thought processes in what first comes to mind when one hears the term "female imagery." Like Lippard, when I read this term my mind automatically assumed it was talking about the sexual aspect of female imagery, instead of art produced by females. I think a term such as female imagery has always been so closely associated in a sexual form that is makes it difficult to differentiate it. Also, like Lippard, I think it would be effective to have a different term. I think it is unfortunate that the term that is supposed to be representative of female artwork carries such intense sexual meaning. This just shows how much more difficult it is for the work of women to be respected within the confines of society.
