Description:The Arts and Crafts Movement was a protest against the excesses of the Industrial Revolution by the middle class. Though the Movement was largely dominated by males, Anthea Callen deals here with 'talented but little known' women artists on both sides of the Atlantic who participated in the movement. Categories covered include ceramics; embroidery and needlework; lacemaking; jewelry and metalwork; woodcarving, furniture, and interior design; hand-printing, book-binding, and illustration. Includes appended biographical notes on selected craftswomen, a comparative note on women's wages, a selected bibliography, and detailed index. Contains illustrated examples of works created during the movement.
