In Berkeley, when an organization called Women for the Free Future burned a diploma to symbolize their claim that the university failed to teach women anything relevant to their situation in society, they also incinerated a Barbie doll, a book by Norman Mailer (regarded as an arch-male chauvinist by the movement), birth-control pills, the Bible, and Good Housekeeping's list of the Ten Most Admired Women (because they were identified by their husbands' names only).

Sargent has an equally striking work of four girls arranged on a wide space of a dark room. The smallest sits, paused in playing with her doll an a grey rug. Painted with shimmering intensity of dark and light, they stand in black stockings and white dresses. Sargent dissolves the trivia from the subject by making it look like a monumental stage...
