Through discussion of these four artists I have shown that they all have used a feministic approach in their work to succeed in shocking, provoking and inspiring. Artists like Frida Kahlo, unintentionally and unknowingly, paved the way for later female artists to push the boundaries of their time, successfully questioning and provoking change.
