This chapter seeks to map the key feminist critiques of and debates around Surrealism in the 1970s and 1980s, after which point feminist Surrealist scholarship underwent a marked proliferation and, building on these earlier insights, developed in fresh and innovative directions. Focusing primarily on francophone and anglophone scholarship, this chapter aims to establish how these bodies of work both diverge from and overlap with each other, as well as to account for the ways in which they intersect with and contribute to broader contemporaneous cultural and theoretical debates.
