In 1973 Griselda Pollock and Rozsika Parker met. They founded the Feminist Art History Collective . The group was made up of artists , art historians and journalists and provided a framework in which the structural sexism of the art world and art history were made an issue. The collaboration between Pollock and Parker resulted in several joint publications. These include: Old Mistresses: Women, Art and Ideology (1981), Framing Feminism: Art and the Women's Movement 1970–1985 (1987)

Pollock received his doctorate in 1980 on Vincent van Gogh at the Courtauld Institute with the work Vincent van Gogh and Dutch Art: a Study of the Development of Van Gogh's Notion of Modern Art with Special Reference to the Critical and Artistic Revival of Seventeenth Century Dutch Art in Holland and France in the Nineteenth Century . She married Antony Bryant that same year.
