Feminism, which gained momentum with the First World War, has brought about profound changes in many areas, ranging from the acquisition of equal rights by women to the development of human rights. A group of women who wanted to have equal rights not only in the social context, but also in the arts contributed to various artistic innovations under the heading of "feminist art". Nil Yalter is one of the artists who produce works of contemporary art in this feminism process, which continues until today. Nil Yalter, one of the leading representatives of the French feminist art movement in the 1970s, has organized exhibitions at many national and international art institutions and also presented works for major art events such as biennial. The artist, who is interested in feminist approaches, created awareness by presenting the subjects that explain the difficulties of life in an artistic expression and showed different perspectives.
