ABSTRACT
The organizational choice of grouping chapters by verbs was appropriate given the book's title and focus, but given the genre of an edited collection growing from a conference, often the chapters read as individual pieces rather than a conversation about agency that is picked up in a new way by each contributor. [...]the book mirrors the realities of a broad conference, and I find myself wishing for the Q&A section where the contributors are invited to make connections across disparate case studies and interests-one can sense these connections, but they are not explicit. The authors link the Women's Building, a Los Angeles-based women's art collective in the late twentieth century, to early modern women's social networks and consider the ways that traditional digital network mapping does not work for women artists. [...]the book gestures to discussions of agency within enslavement and colonialism in the introduction, but this is noticeably absent from individual chapters.
