Vision and Difference: Femininity, Feminism and Histories of Art

Vision and Difference by Griselda Pollock is a landmark text in feminist art history and theory. First published in 1988, this influential work challenges traditional narratives of art history by examining how gender shapes both the production and interpretation of art. Pollock explores the representation of women—as subjects, artists, and viewers—through close readings of key artworks from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Combining Marxist, psychoanalytic, and feminist perspectives, Pollock redefines how we understand the relationship between art, society, and ideology. A cornerstone of feminist scholarship, Vision and Difference remains essential reading for students and scholars of art history, gender studies, and cultural theory.
