{"product_id":"womens-art-of-the-british-mary-ellen-snodgrass-9781538126899","title":"Women's Art of the British Empire","description":"The spread of the British Empire around the globe made vast changes in the relationship of peoples to places. Because the logistics of colonization varied, countries passed in and out of the empire, some rapidly and others slower or by degrees. Multiculturalism broadened the world's ability to read the English language and understand and adopt England's ethics and morals. Into the early twentieth century, the posting of the British army and navy and the establishment of English-style embassies and police forces in remote colonies freed single travelers, especially women and children, of the fear of violence or kidnap. As a result, girls and women found outlets for creativity by exploring unfamiliar lands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Women's Art of the British Empire, Mary Ellen Snodgrass provides an overview of multiracial arts and crafts from Great Britain's Empire.
