Book Synopsis
The American Arts and Crafts movement, which began in the late 19th century, promoted hand craftsmanship over mass production. In the context of an era that offered women few professional opportunities, Zipf (cultural and historic preservation, Salve Regina U., Newport, Rhode Island) profiles five women who parlayed their involvement in this movement into successful careers. The women and their areas of accomplishment are: Hazel Wood Waterman (architecture), Mary Louise McLaughlin (ceramic pottery), Candace Wheeler (women's business entrepreneurship), and Adelaide Alsop Robineau and Irene Sargent (movement publications).
