In choosing works that might represent progress for women artists‚ and those that could be termed regressive‚ I found it was easier to find progressive art than work that diminished the role of the female artist. So I tried to look at the work of artists from chapters 13 through 15 from the point of view of a critic or an audience member. If I wanted to find fault‚ where would I look?

Also called female circumcision‚ FGC is defined as “all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs whether or not for non-medical reasons” (UNAIDS et al.‚ 2008‚ p. 1).

A common version of the practice‚ known as Clitoridectomy‚ requires the removal of all external genitalia and the stitching up of the vagina opening.
