But i really resist categories – that naming is a closing down of meaning. women's art, political art – those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which i'm resistant to. but i absolutely define myself as a feminist.

More From Barbara Kruger

I consider myself 100 percent a feminist, at odds with the feminist establishment in america. for me the great mission of feminism is to seek the full political and legal equality of women with men. however, i disagree with many of my fellow feminists as an equal opportunity feminist, who believes that feminism should only be interested in equal rights before the law. i utterly oppose special protection for women where i think that a lot of the feminist establishment has drifted in the last 20 years.
Believe Opportunity Men
Naturally my stories are about women - i'm a woman. i don't know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. i'm not always sure what is meant by "feminist." in the beginning i used to say, well, of course i'm a feminist. but if it means that i follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then i'm not. i think i'm a feminist as far as thinking that the experience of women is important. that is really the basis of feminism.
Mean Writing Men
As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.
Spiritual Reality People
Given the way universities work to reinforce and perpetuate the status quo, the way knowledge is offered as commodity, women's studies can easily become the place where revolutionary feminist thought and feminist activism are submerged or made secondary to the goals of academic careerism
Goal Feminist Way
In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes; they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. a story can do that in kind of a trojan-horse fashion.

I was always a feminist. my mother was a feminist; my grandmother was a feminist. i always understood women had to fight very hard to do what they wanted to do in the world - that it wasn't an easy choice. but i think the most important part is that we all want the right to be taken seriously as human beings, and to use our talents without reservation, and that's still not possible for women.

Motherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly exemplifies the god-given virtues of creating and sacrificing. though it carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her into the very realm of the fountains of life and makes her co-partner with the creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life.
