Toulouse art is rarely tackled through its avant-gardes and its political commitment. However, during the years 1970-1980, several forms of support for the artistic creation of women and various creations emerged from the feminist movement in Toulouse. Other artists, feminists in their commitment, were also active at that time. But all, creative activists and militant artists, oppose art as individual research to a collective political movement like feminism. Thus, the feminist works of the movement are not considered as art, and works from a personal development are not considered feminist. It is here both to write this part of the forgotten history, and to question this partitioning and the causes of the extreme weakness of the links between these two poles in the region.
