Voyaging Out: British Women Artists from Suffrage to the Sixties - Carolyn Trant

In the decades after women won the vote in Britain, the fortunes of women artists were shaped by war, domesticity, continued oppressions and spirited resistance. Some succeeded in forging creative careers; others were thwarted by the odds stacked against them. Weaving devastating individual stories with playful critique, Voyaging Out reveals the lives and works of a rich network of women artists, including renowned presences such as Barbara Hepworth and Laura Knight, in this era of radical activism and great social and political change.
