Between the years 1966–1969, Parker studied for a degree in the history of European art at the Courtauld Institute in London. In 1972, she joined the feminist magazine Spare Rib . She and Griselda Pollock then went on to found a feminist group, The Feminist Art History Collective. [1]

Legacy
In 2013, the Rozsika Parker Essay Prize was established by the British Journal of Psychotherapy. [2]
Parker's contention that embroidery was a way to educate women and a weapon for resistance helped develop computational fiber arts as Anastasia Salter notes in her essay, Re:traced Threads: Generating Feminist Textile Art with Tracery. [3]
