Anonymous was a Woman VII 1977

"Anonymous was a Woman VII" (1977) is a work by feminist artist Miriam Schapiro. This print, executed in red, depicts a crocheted doily, a traditionally feminine craft. The doily's design features a chair, a symbol of domesticity and the unseen labor performed by women. Schapiro's work explores the connection between women's domesticity and art, challenging traditional views of artmaking and highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of women artists. This piece is characteristic of her "Femme House" series, which utilizes materials and imagery associated with domesticity to examine gender roles and artistic expression.
