As political individuals, they were foot soldiers who helped sustain the momentum of the movement and as designers, makers and sellers they spread the message of the campaign to new local, national and international audiences, mediating how suffrage activism was understood by society at large. This edited collection offers a range of new perspectives and readings of the outpouring of creative responses to the campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors, who include historians, art historians, curators, museum professionals and suffrage experts, call upon the historiographical developments of the last thirty years, alongside new archival discoveries, to showcase the vibrancy of ongoing research in this area. Throughout, chapters investigate the wider socio-cultural backdrop to suffrage and the women’s movement, the difficult choices that were made between professional, artistic aspirations and political commitment, and how institutional and informal networks influenced creative expression and participation in feminist politics. From shining light on the use of portraiture to bolster the cultural cachet of the militant Women’s Social and Political Union, uncovering the links between Victorian interior design, enterprise and suffrage, through to questioning the supposed conservativism of women’s art institutions during the campaign and in the inter-war era, \u003ci\u003eSuffrage and the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and important collection which will contribute to a number of scholarly fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297996517749,"sku":"9781350128675","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350128675_9a0163e3-f8bf-45a2-9546-887d5db505f0.jpg?v=1786018349"},{"product_id":"9781526160270","title":"Women Art Workers and the Arts and Crafts Movement","description":"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.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312539185525,"sku":"9781526160270","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526160270_f20689cd-e655-42ae-9843-aeb92ca5c31f.jpg?v=1786022057"},{"product_id":"9780008789725","title":"The Times Good University Guide 2027","description":"The best-selling and definitive guide to choosing the right university for you.Discover all the information you need to make crucial decisions on what to study, where to study, and how much it might cost in one place.
