Laura Mulvey’s essay “ A Phantasmagoria of the Female Body: The work Of Cindy Sherman” focuses on Cindy Sherman’s important influence in contemporary art. In her essay Mulvey states that Sherman’s work progresses to show the development of maturity, and changed style of feminism from the initial state to its very end. Mulvey then goes to state how Sherman’s work demonstrated the vital turning point for women artist in the era of the feminist movement during the 1970’s.
