These women, who hailed from various fields such as painting, sculpture, filmmaking, writing, singing, composing, dancing, and impresario, pursued their passion for art with unwavering determination. Their stories, coupled with the art they created, commissioned, mobilized as propaganda, and performed, shed light on the evolving gender norms of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book, written by a diverse group of contributors, explore how modernist practices continued to evolve in the hands of women artists during the war. Through networks forged by and for these women artists in the absence of their male colleagues, they fostered a sense of community and collaboration that played a crucial role in their artistic growth. These chapters also reflect on the impact of the dissolution of these structures after the November 1918 armistice, as it had detrimental consequences for their professional trajectories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to challenge the historical record and shed light on the significant contributions of creative women to wartime and post-war culture. It seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the essential work of female creative professionals, highlighting their experiences of resistance, mourning, and reinvention in the shadow of the Great War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of essays will be of immense value to scholars interested in social and gender history of the twentieth century, as well as historians of the arts. It offers a profound exploration of the artistic journeys of these women, providing a deeper appreciation for their contributions to the world of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 648g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032387352\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44770952020218,"sku":"9781032387352","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699638931654_book.jpg?v=1699978292","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/creative-women-of-the-lost-generation-women-in-the-arts-in-the-wake-of-the-great-war-9781032387352","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
