WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution was an exhibition of international women’s art presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles from March 4–July 16, 2007. It later traveled to PS1 Contemporary Art Center, where it was on view February 17–May 12, 2008. The exhibition featured works from 120 artists and artists' groups from around the world.[1]

The 2007 exhibition catalogue -- also titled WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution -- documents this first major retrospective of art and the feminist revolution.
