Monica Sjöö was a Swedish-born artist and writer who settled in Britain. Sjöö strongly advocated radical anarcho/eco-feminism and played a pivotal role in the early development of the Goddess movement. Her books and paintings were foundational to the growth of feminist art in Britain, starting around 1970, alongside the women’s liberation movement.
