Abstract
Female prisoners experience entrenched societal misogyny which systemically categorises them and proliferates demeaning stereotypes. This research offers an original contribution to the interdisciplinary dialogue between feminist criminology and art psychotherapy to examine how images made by women in art psychotherapy in prison contribute to understandings of the complex construction and self-perception of gendered identities in prison. These identities are explored through a number of different modalities and methodologies including my original term misogynart. This is a concept I use to express the inherent misogyny underlying art made by and about women in a patriarchal society which may affect their sense of identity and how they are seen by others, and which may reveal more about their perspectives and experiences.
