{"product_id":"voyaging-out-british-women-artist-from-suf","title":"Voyaging Out: British Women Artists from Suffrage to the Sixties [2019] hardback","description":"Consider for a moment the history of modern art in Britain; you may struggle to land on a narrative that features very many women. On this journey through a fascinating period of social change, artist Carolyn Trant fills in some of the gaps in traditional art histories. Introducing the lives and works of a rich network of neglected women artists, \u003ci\u003eVoyaging Out\u003c\/i\u003e sets these alongside such renowned presences as Barbara Hepworth, Laura Knight and Winifred Nicholson. In an era of radical activism and great social and political change, women forged new relationships with art and its institutions. Such change was not without its challenges, and with acerbic wit Trant delves into the gendered make-up of the `avant-garde', and the tyranny of artistic `isms'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Virginia Woolf's first novel \u003ci\u003eThe Voyage Out\u003c\/i\u003e (1915) has her female heroine strive towards a realization of her sense of self, asking what being a woman might mean. 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, \u003ci\u003eVoyaging Out\u003c\/i\u003e reveals this hidden history.","brand":"Trant, Carolyn","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44282653245730,"sku":"9780500021828","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/trant-carolyn-voyaging-out-british-women-artists-from-suffrage-to-the-sixties-2019-hardback-9780500021828-58901653553491.jpg?v=1726499110","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/voyaging-out-british-women-artist-from-suf","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
