This text analyses how three artists - Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero & Mary Kelly - worked with the visual dimensions of language in the 1960s & 1970s. These artists used text and images of writing to challenge female stereotypes, addressing viewers & asking them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words & images of subordination. The work explores this dimension of their work through the concept of 'the other woman', a utopian wish to reach women & correspond with them across similarities & differences. To make the artwork's aspirations more concrete, it places the artists in correspondence with three writers - Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, & Laura Mulvey - who also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible.
