The Oregon Alliance for the National Museum of Women in the Arts - https://nmwa.org/ - has Kris Timken speaking on four women in land art 1078-1983.
"Timken’s dissertation “Women, Land Art and the Social (1978-1983)”, [is] a revisionist project that moves beyond the necessary impulse to recover forgotten female artists as pioneers in the early years of the land art movement. She deploys the iconic earth art made by men like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer in the late 1960s and early 1970s as the starting point in an examination of 4 large-scale artworks made by women in the ensuing decade. In the late 1970s, female artists such as Nancy Holt (Sun Tunnels), Patricia Johanson (Fair Park Lagoon), Beverly Buchanan (Unity Stones) and Betty Beaumont (Ocean Landmark) were at the forefront of the land art movement as it transformed from one characterized by isolationism and minimalism to one that was social, connected, and activist."
