Page ix Acknowledgments Many, many people contributed to the successful completion of this book. It has been my good fortune to be affiliated with women's studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz, with colleagues who have provided me with outstanding support, encouragement, and affection. I am particularly indebted to Donna Haraway, Diane K. Lewis, Helene Moglen, Candace West, and Patricia Zavella. I am also indebted to colleagues elsewhere in the country for their kind assistance, including Barrie Thorne, Phyllis Rogers, Maria Herrera-Sobek, Kathryn Sklar, and Kathleen Barry. The students at Santa Cruz have been a source of inspiration, and my experiences with them infuse this book. I am particularly indebted to Shelley Shepard, Hiroko Yamano, Noelle Remington, and senior-in-residence, Ruth Chinn, for sharing their writing with me. I also thank several students for providing me with a fund of information about and access to women artists and their work, in particular Hinano Campton, Beth Collins, Alison Kim, Julie Porcella, and Alvina Quintana. Several artists have been most helpful to me. Mayumi Oda generously shared her work with me, and her presentation in my class on women's culture in the winter of 1987 was very useful in framing my ideas. Betye Saar kindly sent me catalogs and slides relevant to her work, which made it accessible to me in ways that would otherwise not have been possible. Mary Warshaw supplied me with wonderful catalogs and books over several years, and her close reading and criticism of chapter four on imagination and survival was especially helpful.
