Description

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the work of women artists and designers in Glasgow at the turn of the century. It is an investigation into their lives, their achievements and the historical circumstances in which they found themselves. Because of the breadth of its scope, it has involved gathering together contributions by a number of scholars working in a variety of different specialisms. Several of the texts are reproduced from earlier articles which have proved so influential that it was felt they deserved to be brought to a much wider readership. Placed in the context of an extensive body of new writings, the result is intended to offer as complete a survey of relevant scholarship in this field as is possible at the present time.
