...Joplin, who died in 1970 of a drug overdose, Writer Ellen Willis notes that her revolt against conventional femininity "dovetailed with a stereotype-the ballsy, one-of-the-guys chick who is a needy, vulnerable cream puff underneath." Besides such quarrying of rock egos, the book signifies that the subject itself has finally grown respectable: the anthology's giant glossy cover is cannily designed to grace the coffee table...

Entitled "Women Artists: 1550-1950," it is the first full-dress historical survey of its subject ever made. The organizers are two distinguished scholars, Ann Sutherland Harris and Linda Nochlin. Their catalogue is the fundamental text on its subject. Professor Nochlin's essay alone, with its dense research and propulsive common sense, provides the right antidote to the tendentious stomp-the-pigs puffery of more militant feminist...
