This Qualifying Paper examines feminist text-based art from the 1990s to the present through four contemporary artist case studies: Tracey Emin, Emily Jacir, Lisa Anne Auerbach and Juliana Huxtable. It provides a brief pre-history of important text-based art from the 1960s through the 1980s by artists Adrian Piper, Mary Kelly, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, and the Guerrilla Girls to demonstrate some of the earliest topics explored in feminist art, and to show how issues that the earlier text-based feminist artists addressed—sexual freedom, a right to choose, and historical issues such as war and government corruption—are still pertinent today. The four contemporary artists also focus on feminist issues dealing with the female body and the history of “her” people. They each create text work on these concerns using diverse media. This Qualifying Paper articulates how society as a whole has not progressed to the degree feminists would hope, in a sense that certain issues that were important fifty years ago are still important today. Across over half a century, media, generational perspectives, and conversations have changed, but the fundamental questions and ambitions of equality and freedom have not.
