Knitting together two fascinating but entirely distinct lives, this
ingeniously structured braided biography tells the story of the
lives and work of two women, each a cultural icon in her own
country yet lesser known in the other's. Australian poet Judith
Wright and Canadian painter Emily Carr broke new ground for female
artists in the British colonies and influenced the political and
social debates about environment and indigenous rights that have
shaped Australia and Canada in the 21st century. In telling their
story/ies, this book charts the battle for recognition of their
modernist art and vision, pointing out significant moments of
similarity in their lives and work. Although separated by thousands
of miles, their experience of colonial modernity was startlingly
analogous, as white settler women bent on forging artistic careers
in a male-dominated world and sphere rigged against them. Through
all this, though, their cultural importance endures; two remarkable
women whose poetry and painting still speak to us today of their
passionate belief in the transformative power of art.
