This book constitutes the first comprehensive history of the
network of women who worked at the heart of the English Arts and
Crafts movement from the 1870s to the 1930s. Challenging the
long-standing assumption that the Arts and Crafts simply revolved
around celebrated male designers like William Morris, it instead
offers a new social and cultural account of the movement, which
simultaneously reveals the breadth of the imprint of women art
workers upon the making of modern society. Thomas provides
unprecedented insight into how women navigated authoritative roles
as 'art workers' by asserting expertise across a range of
interconnected cultures: from the artistic to the professional,
intellectual, entrepreneurial and domestic. Through examination of
newly discovered institutional archives and private papers, Thomas
elucidates the critical importance of the spaces around which women
conceptualised alternative creative and professional lifestyles. --
