Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone.

It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.
