A founding member of the feminist art collective Guerrilla Girls has revealed her identity after decades of anonymity. The disclosure is significant because the group has long used masks and pseudonyms to focus attention on sexism and inequality in the art world rather than on individual members.

The article presents the announcement as the end of a long-running period of anonymity for one of the collective’s original figures. Guerrilla Girls became known for activist artwork and public campaigns challenging the under-representation of women and other marginalised groups in cultural institutions.
