{"product_id":"magical-women","title":"Magical Women","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom witches and clairvoyants to high priestesses, femininity and the magical are inextricably linked in cultures across the globe. This age-old connection has long shaped beliefs and notions of femininity, while also creating a pretext for demonizing women that reinforced patriarchal social structures. For artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, associations between women and the occult have offered an exciting opportunity to explore themes such as body and gender, women’s sexuality, and the essentialization of gender identity―often from a feminist perspective. This book is a must-have now that occult themes and rituals are enjoying a comeback in mainstream culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book includes works by Myrlande Constant, Cordula Ditz, Mary Beth Edelson, Bev Grant \/ W.I.T.C.H., Vivian Greven, Rebecca Horn, Ana Mendieta, Zanele Muholi, Wangechi Mutu, Rosana Paulino, Paloma Proudfoot, Gillian Wearing, and Portia Zvavahera.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003eHirmer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eFlexibound, 240 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9783777447179\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49394244288747,"sku":"9783777447179","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/61ykLQyGIbL._SL1277.jpg?v=1789159396","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/magical-women","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
