“Nancy Princenthal is an award-winning author of many books on important topics in art. In “Unspeakable Acts,” she delves into the links between violence and silence, art and terror, and how pioneering women made them into art… Princenthal is also deft at drawing a roadmap through the political, social and aesthetic divisions of the ‘70s”- Hyperallergic
