Check out this site
Feminism and Art at the Womans Building!
Explore to your hearts desire-- I recommend the Video Herstories and the suggested readings. While I have not read all of the readings, I am familiar with many of the names. I was actually just reading some of the original Chrysalis (Chrysalis Magazine. (10 issues published from 1977-1981)) this afternoon at the special collections at my library!
Few of the links pulled from their site:

Edelson, Mary Beth and Arlene Raven, "Happy Birthday America." Chrysalis Magazine, 1.1 (1977): 49-53 [PDF]
This is especially relevant to me right now because I am in the midst of performing a character from the 1970's feminist art movement. Just held my first -- well she, Molly Seiden, just held her first consciousness raising group last night and will be doing a body art performance piece this evening. (9pm tyler school of art)
Get ready for some quintessential early feminist performance art.
