Amid all the self-absorption, fluff, and cat fighting seen in Hollywood gossip rags and on "The Hills," it's easy to forget that the Golden State was one of the original hotbeds of feminist activity. Resurrecting that sisterhood mentality is "The Way That We Rhyme: Women, Art & Politics," an intergenerational survey of women artists. Organized by San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the exhibit includes work by forerunning feminist artists such as Suzanne Lacy, Aleksandra Mir, and iconic eighties artist/drag queen Vaginal Davis, who named herself after radical black feminist Angela Davis. Also in the show are their political daughters and little sisters, whose Riot Grrl aesthetics add a sassy spin to the sexism and gender realities their art spotlights. Stephanie Syjuco's "Counterfeit Crochet Project," for example, includes a workshop and online instructions for women who want to create old-fashioned knitting circles where they can gather, gossip, and crochet DIY versions of designer merch (like this Dolce & Gabbana handbag, above). Put your prejudice aside—"The Way That We Rhyme" demonstrates that there are smart, hardcore hearts beating under California's silicone surfaces.
