Encyclopedia > Guerilla Girls

The Guerrilla Girls are a group of feminist artists. The group was established in 1985 and is known for using guerrilla tactics to promote women in the arts.


Members of this always wear gorilla masks, miniskirts, and fishnet stockings while appearing in the "Guerrilla Girls" context. They proclaim that no one, even their husbands, boyfriends, and families know their identities. They also refuse to state how many Girls there are in total. Judging from photos, there are at least six but it is commonly estimated that there are 20-30 permanent members.
