Miriam Schapiro (1923-2015) var en banebrytende feministisk kunstner kjent for sine fargerike "femmage"-collager som blander høy og lav kunst, samt utforsker kvinnelig identitet og tradisjonell håndverkstradisjon.

Personal and collective female experiences inspired Miriam Schapiro’s work, even before she became involved in the feminist movement in 1970. Reflecting on the challenges faced by women artists in a male-dominated art world, Schapiro abandoned her expressionistic canvases for hard-edged paintings like Another Red Room. Not only did such works establish her among the male artists seen nearby, they also asserted her as a pioneer. For example, Schapiro used computer modeling to experiment with three-dimensional perspective, creating a unique sense of space in her work. Among the first artists to use a computer, she plotted points and lines in three-dimensions and then transferred them to canvas, where they create visual dynamism and evoke movement.72.2
