If you ask someone to name five artists, they will likely name prominent male artists, but how many people can list five women artists? Throughout March’s Women’s History Month, we will be joining institutions around the world to answer this very question posed by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NWMA). Together we hope to draw attention to the gender imbalance in the art world, inspire conversation and awareness, and hopefully add a few more women’s names to everyone’s lists.

Since their founding in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls have continued to hit the nail on the head in terms of issues that are facing the art world and the rest of the world. Their innovative work is nicely represented at the Brooklyn Museum in a number of areas including the current exhibition entitled Agitprop!, as well as in the Sackler collection and in its Feminist Art Database and other web based resources. The Museum Library also has some very cool holdings that document their work. 

Greatest Hits, an artists’ book, published by Pyramid Atlantic, made up of bound postcards representing the Guerrilla Girls’s Conscience of the Art World posters including The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist, We Sell White Bread and At Last! Museums will no longer discriminate against women and minority artists. The Guerrilla Girls’ Art Museum  Activity Book, is a comic book-style call to action published by Printed Matter. 

Their poster from 2002 also resonates with the issues of today in regard to the need for diversity—especially at the Oscars. The image made a great billboard and the resulting poster in Brooklyn’s collection is inscribed to Elizabeth Sackler with the message “Make Trrrouble” by Guerrilla Girl Kathe Kollwitz.
