Feminism has long since become part of popular culture in Europe and the United States. However, despite worldwide movements, protests, and demonstrations to establish equality, it is still not possible in the twenty-first century to speak of comprehensive gender equality with regard to women and LGBTQIA+ communities—neither in this country nor elsewhere. Structural relationships of power and inequality are responsible for discrimination and exploitation up to physical violence or even femicides. Countless artists worldwide react to these untenable conditions with their feminist-oriented works.
