As a scholar and pedagogue, Nochlin perceptively expressed how art criticism and social activism could inform the struggles against systemic inequality and exclusion. Recognized as a keystone of feminist art theory, this incisive essay along with its 2001 follow-up reappraisal, “Thirty Years Later,” a text highlighting the development of intersectional feminisms during the 1990s, changed the makeup of art history by exposing the institutional barriers to the visual arts that women have historically faced. This Forum is dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the pioneering art historian Linda Nochlin’s essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” ( ARTnews, 1971).
