Keating, Anne B. "'A World We Have Invented Here': Exploring Community, Identity and Art in the Construction of 'The Farm', Kate Millett's Feminist Art Colony, 1978-1994," American Studies Program, University of Maryland, College Park, November 1995.
The feminist Kate Millett is best known for Sexual Politics (1970). Less well-known is that her political identity was linked to her primary identity as a visual artist. In 1978, synthesizing political and aesthetic goals, Millett founded an art colony. Millett and this community are the focus of this ethnographic study, combining a cultural portrait of Millett with an analysis of the community as an utopian venture. By focusing on this community this study shows that it is the dynamic product of the culture-building goals of the feminist movement rather than simply a retreat for women artists.
