Signed by Author. First Edition. This book is about the four generations of women artists who worked on the cultural fringes of Australian art from the First Fleet to the end of World War II. The author traces the development of the male domination of mainstream art and the efforts women made to win professional status equal to that of their male peers. She examines the reasons for the successes and failures of women in the arts, particularly with reference to such issues as gender politics and the prejudicial atttitudes of male artists, critics and historians; issue which denied women artists recognition and equality of opportunity.” pp. x
