Nancy Spero was an important figure in the American feminist art movements of the twentieth century. Spero was born in Ohio and studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. She was a socially and politically conscious artist whose work addresses issues of power, violence, and sexism. Much of her work focuses on the experiences of women, both historical and contemporary, employing mythological and pictographic imagery to explore issues of gender and sexuality. Spero was a member of Women Artists in Revolution and a founding member of A.I.R. Gallery, a cooperative gallery for women artists established in 1972.
