Tate Modern - Woman and Work

Wednesday, 13 July 2016

Specifically, we fixated solely on feminist artists finding works from 
Margret Harrison, Mary Kelly and Kay Hunt who both conducted a detailed study on women who worked in the factory, their investigation had occurred while the Equal Pay Act was implemented, the three artists collected as much data as they could on the women, the simple pieces put on display like black and white photographs, plain typed letters reflect the dull, low-level skilled tasks given to women contrasting to the more demanding and laborious tasks given to the men.  



 



As you can see there is also black women included in the employee portraits; the labour industry included those from all races
