UN/MASKED: Memoirs of a Guerrilla Girl on Tour

UN/MASKED, Memoirs of a Guerrilla Girl OnTour followsthe surprising 25 year journey of a young, New York City actress swept off herfeet by a rising movie star who carries her to Malibu and back for a three-plusyear love affair that is both fantastical and physically dangerous. When NicoleBrown Simpson and Ron Goldman are murdered in Brentwood she hears a bell gooff, awakening her angry, activist spirit. Always an outsider, she takes onestep further into invisibility and becomes a Guerrilla Girl, a feministactivist who never appears in public without wearing a rubber gorilla mask andwho uses the name of a dead woman artist instead of her own. As a GuerrillaGirl, Aphra Behn creates comedic art and theater that blasts the blatant sexismof the theater world while proving feminists are funny at the same time.
Â
These two narratives--that of a young victim ofdomestic violence at the hands of a successful film actor and that of an artistso fed up with sexism in the theater world that she puts on a gorilla mask andtakes the name of a dead woman artist to provoke change--have been lived by onewoman. Donna Kaz offers her compelling firsthand account--illuminated by morethan thirty behind-the-scenes photographs, stickers and posters --of hertransition from a silent observer to an unapologetic activist.
Â
This is the memoir of awoman-turned-survivor-turned-radical-feminist who takes off her mask and, bymerging her identities, reveals all.
