- Summary:
- Schreiber (California College of the Arts) examines the imagery of the human figure in a small socialist journal published in New York City between 1911 and 1917, Masses, which in addition to attending to working class issues also had a remarkably frequent focus on women's issues. She explores what the human figure in the visual culture of Masses reveals about the artists' conceptions of gender and the laboring body, the working-class family, single women's sexual identities, and women's relationship to citizenship.
