"The Guerilla Girls emerged in the mid-1980's when some female artists realized that conventional methods of protest weren't working with respect to women's representation in the art community. Their approach to change is full of humour and catchy slogans such as 'Do women have to be naked to get into the Met?' ".

Jocelyn Purdie partnered with Alana Kapell to form the Kingston Women Artists and continued devoting her efforts to incorporating the group into the Organization of Kingston Women Artists, giving many years to this group.
