Modern WomenModern Women

"The transformational forces of 20th-century modernity dramatically altered past ways of life, creating conditions for the performance of new identities - for women to lead 'all sorts of lives', as Katherine Mansfield wrote. Modern Women: Flight of Time explores the vivid responses of women artists to this time of change. Mobile, commanding and often elusive, these artists exist as shifting traces in a network of fully lifed creative lives." -- Back cover.
