• Chansky discusses the reclamation movement of needled imagery among third-wave feminists. As Third-Wave feminists explore the power afforded them from the women's movement, they are moving to reclaim many of the domestic arts that were both devaluated by the predominant masculine society and shunned as associative with oppressive domestic labor by many Second-Wave feminists. Paramount in this reclamation movement is the overwhelming trend among women in their twenties and thirties to utilize needled works as feminist expression. He concludes that the Third-Wave postpunk aesthetic seems ideally suited for an art form that allows practitioners to stab as they create. This method seems like an ideal reflection of our upbringing, done under the watchful eyes of our proud feminist mothers who were actively fighting to tear down gender inequality while simultaneously building a better, more equal society.
