Secretary of Commerce and supervisor of the WPA Harry Hopkins hailed it a \"renascence of the arts, if we can call it a rebirth when it has no precedent in our history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Women were eminently involved, creating a wide variety of art and craft, interweaving their own stories with those of other women whose lives might not otherwise have received attention. This book surveys the thousands of women artists who worked for the U.S. government, the historical and social worlds they described and the collaborative depiction of womanhood they created at a pivotal moment in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine H.
