The guerrilla girls

In 1985, a group of anonymous female artists in New York began dressing up with gorilla masks and putting up fly-posters around the city's museums and galleries. It was part of a campaign to demand greater representation for women and ethnic minorities in the art world.
The activists known as "Frida Kahlo" and "Kathe Kollowitz" spoke to Witness History about their work.
