This title was first published in 2000: Women in the 19th century
have long been presented as the angel in the house. The author
re-writes this history by investigating the life and working
conditions of a number of middle-class women who sought to
establish themselves as professional artists in Scotland. Contrary
to the orthodox view preoccupied with oppression and difficulty,
the author demonstrates that women artists of the period were
independent producers, teachers and travellers, alert to changes in
taste and fashion. They derived great pleasure from their work, and
enjoyed the benefits of women working together, forming their own
and joining existing professional associations. The book is not
biographical but elaborates on the life and working conditions of
middle-class artists by discussing their work in terms of economic
and social history.
