No Compromise

Artist and writer Judy Chicago—who coined the terms feminist art and feminist pedagogy—had not taught for 25 years when she returned to the classroom at Indiana University as a visiting professor. This program shows her work with a group of women students as they struggle with the artistic process, from conception to public presentation. Along with the students, the filmmaker explores the nature of artistic expression, the character of feminist art, and the commitment needed to forge an independent artistic identity.
