{"product_id":"voyaging-out-carolyn-trant-9780500021828","title":"Voyaging Out: British Women Artists from Suffrage to the Sixties","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this revealing chronicle of a fascinating period of social change, artist Carolyn Trant examines the history of women artists in modern Britain, filling in the gaps in traditional art histories. Introducing the lives and works of a rich network of neglected women artists, \u003cem\u003eVoyaging Out\u003c\/em\u003e sets these alongside such renowned presences as Barbara Hepworth, Laura Knight, and Winifred Nicholson. In an era of radical activism and great social and political change, women forged new relationships with art and its institutions. Such change was not without its challenges, and with acerbic wit Trant delves into the gendered makeup of the avant-garde and the tyranny of artistic \"isms.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Virginia Woolf's first novel \u003cem\u003eThe Voyage Out\u003c\/em\u003e (1915) her female heroine strives toward a realization of her sense of self, asking what being a woman might mean. In the decades after women won the vote in Britain, the fortunes of women artists were shaped by war, domesticity, continued oppressions, and spirited resistance. Some succeeded in forging creative careers; others were thwarted by the odds stacked against them. Weaving devastating individual stories with spirited critique, \u003cem\u003eVoyaging Out\u003c\/em\u003e reveals this hidden history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Trant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500021821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500021828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.20d","brand":"Carolyn Trant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946688446719,"sku":"9780500021828","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c26cceb1-aac1-4e81-92c4-c72db80b4f22.jpg?v=1681514571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voyaging-out-carolyn-trant-9780500021828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
