Inside Angry Women, two female figures expose themselves. Snyder has faintly written the words ‘sad and’ just above the phrase ‘angry women.’ She draws attention to how feminist artists have been projected as angry women, when in reality they are profoundly sad about gender inequality. In the bottom left corner, she references ‘Venus’ the Greek goddess of love and ‘Kali’ the Hindu goddess of death, often associated with sexuality. The work speaks of sadness, anger, death, sexuality and love.
