Women and the Arts: Dialogues in Female Creativity in the U.S. and Beyond (15-17 June 2011) was an international gathering that promoted a reflection on women's artistic production, contrasting the U.S. context with other cultures, and was organized by The American Studies Group of ULICES. The conference covered multiple areas, including writing, the visual arts, music, and the performing arts. We debated women's aesthetic expression in the U.S. and elsewhere in these diversified fields, from modernity to the contemporary age, and reflected on the specific conditions of production, circulation, and reception of their works.
