### Feminist Art Workers

Shortly after enrolling in the FSW, Angelo immersed herself in performance art and in 1976 she co\-founded Feminist Art Workers with Cheri Gaulke, Laurel Klick, and Candace Compton (later replaced by Vanalyne Green). In an attempt to mobilize the strategies of feminist education in the field of performance art, the Feminist Art Workers used performance to create an empowering network for women in and outside of Los Angeles. In 1978, FAW created *Traffic in Women: A Feminist Vehicle* (1978\), performed at various sites between Los Angeles and [Las Vegas](/wiki/Las_Vegas_Valley "Las Vegas Valley"). Prior to embarking on this project, the group conducted research on the subject of [prostitution](/wiki/Prostitution "Prostitution") and the actual traffic in women between these two cities. In 1980, FAW embarked on an even more ambitious project, *Bill of Rights*, which the group performed from 1980 to 1982 in 15 states that have not passed the [Equal Rights Amendment](/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment "Equal Rights Amendment") at the time. This project emerged on the heels of major demonstration in [Washington, D.C.](/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. "Washington, D.C."), which took place in 1978 when 100,000 marched the streets demanding equal rights. It was just one of many efforts, initiated by feminists across the nation, to ensure the ratification of ERA by 1982\.
