Women and the Collaborative Art of Gardens explores the garden and
its agency in the history of the built and natural environments, as
evidenced in landscape architecture, literature, art, archaeology,
history, photography, and film. Throughout the book, each chapter
centers the act of collaboration, from garden clubs of the early
twentieth century as powerful models of women’s leadership, to
the more intimate partnerships between family members, to the
delicate relationship between artist and subject. Women emerge in
every chapter, whether as gardeners, designers, owners, writers,
illustrators, photographers, filmmakers, or subjects, but the
contributors to this dynamic collection unseat common assumptions
about the role of women in gardens to make manifest the significant
ways in which women write themselves into the accounts of garden
design, practice, and history. The book reveals the power of
gardens to shape human existence, even as humans shape gardens and
their representations in a variety of media, including brilliantly
illuminated manuscripts, intricately carved architectural spaces,
wall paintings, black and white photographs, and wood cuts.
Ultimately, the volume reveals that gardens are best apprehended
when understood as products of collaboration. The book will be of
interest to scholars and students of gardens and culture, ancient
Rome, art history, British literature, medieval France, film
studies, women’s studies, photography, African American Studies,
and landscape architecture.
