abstract = "Humour has been used as a feminist avant-garde strategy by generations of artists. Since the historical avant-gardes of the 1920s humorous (re)presentations of the body have been part of female artists{\textquoteright} activism. This essay focuses on three generations of Danish women artists who in different ways have used their bodies in a critical manner, ranging from ironic representations of women{\textquoteright}s living conditions by Kirsten Justesen and understated absurdity in silently repeated actions by the artist duo Hanne Nielsen & Birgit Johnsen to loud and even grotesque stereotypical exaggeration by Maja Malou Lyse.
