Bilingual review of Andrea Giunta´s Feminismo y arte latinoamericano. In this context, Feminismo y arte latinoamericano is a powerful reminder of how much has been done, how much can be done and how much still needs to be done in order to properly assess the production of Latin American women artists since the 1960s. The main hypothesis of the author is that many Latin American women artists have created new representations of the body, which she characterizes as an emancipation from dominant cultural constructions (p. 13). These radical interrogations allow drawing synchronic links between artists who did not necessarily knew each other (pp. 17 and 27), in research paths that allow an escape from the logic of traditional narratives and their diachronic successions.
