Women in Dada is a worthy introduction to the many women in the United States and Europe who participated in Dada.

Essays are also devoted to the European Dada artists Suzanne Duchamp, who worked in Paris, Hannah Höch, who participated in Dada in Berlin, and Emmy Hennings and Sophie Taeuber, who lived in Zurich.
