DESCRIPTION

Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1880-1945
An illuminating examination of the interconnectivity of women artists and activists in Great Britain from the Victorian era through the Second World War
 
Women artists working in Britain between 1875 and 1945 learned to deftly negotiate private and public spaces to advance their artistic goals. This book foregrounds the homes, studios, schools, guilds, and exhibition sites that galvanized these artists, taking inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own” (1929) to consider the ways in which artists such as Vanessa Bell, Nina Hamnett, Anna Alma-Tadema, Laura Sylvia Gosse, Louise Jopling, Evelyn De Morgan, and May Morris, among others, created and promoted their art during rapidly changing times. Contributions by established and emerging scholars situate the artists within broader nineteenth- and twentieth-century political, social, and artistic contexts.
