Teaser Image: 

When I first heard about ! Women Art Revolution – A Secret History, I thought that a film had been made about the Guerrilla Girls and that era and was thrilled as it was a period of history crying out for a documentary. The film starts out quite ambiguously, introducing some of the characters, and then asks women through vox pops to name female artists – and my reaction as a viewer, and someone who went to art school, was of shock that people weren’t listing the likes of Jenny Saville, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gillian Wearing, Julie Doucet or even Tracy Emin straight off the bat.
