While feminism thus described is imagined as a story of linear progress, most women’s lives in the last 50 years have only been getting worse. Among the pandemic’s exposures and amplifications had been the limits of Anglo-America’s mainstream “feminist” project. As such, the show itself remained “unfinished,” yet the irony was more a function of the “business” implied. The exhibition had been due to run until February 2021 but was extended in light of COVID-19 to run until August. IN JUNE 2021, cycling for the first time to my London workplace in the tailwind of two national lockdowns, I indulged in noting the irony in a banner outside the British Library, advertising its exhibition Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women’s Empowerment.
