On Her Terms: Feminine Power Embodied features the work of seven contemporary New England artists who engage current issues around women’s rights by placing the human body as the foreground of their work and identifying it as a site of empowerment. The multi-media work featured in the collection balances the personal and collective histories of women existing under oppressive gender regimes, including themes of vulnerability, ferocity, radical joy, and elegy in interlacing narrative of self-reclamation.
