“Unspeakable Acts is an important and urgent book. Princenthal's deep knowledge of the feminist art movement of the 1970s, her understanding of the psychological dimensions of sexual violence, and her sensitivity as a writer make this a profound and necessary contribution to art history.”

Siri Hustvedt, author of "The Blazing World and Memories of the Future"

“Nancy Princenthal speaks of the unspeakable brilliantly, illuminating the heroic efforts of women artists who dared to make visible what patriarchal culture insisted on hiding.”

Lucy R. Lippard, writer and activist

“An essential and courageous work of feminist art history that recovers and honors artists who took enormous risks to bring sexual violence into the public sphere.”

Johanna Fateman, Ed., Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin
