From the dust jacket: "A pioneer in the medium of photomontage, hannah hoch was the sole female meber of the Berlin Dada movement and continued to produce innovative works well into the 1970s. In the decade since her death, a new generation of scholars have focused its attention on her elegant dissection of the representation of women in the mass media during the Weimar era." Highly recommended.
