Pre-Raphaelite Girl Gang will introduce readers of all ages to
the remarkable women of the Pre-Raphaelite art movement which began in
the second half of the nineteenth century and continued through the
early part of the twentieth. From models to artists, these women all
contributed something personal and incredible towards the most beautiful
and imaginative art movement in the world. From duchesses to poor
laundresses, each woman has a story to tell and a unique viewpoint on
art no matter their age, status or background. Rich or poor, black or
white, these women redefined what it meant to be beautiful and
influential in a male-dominated world and broke new ground in art,
business and women’s rights to pursue the life they loved. Spanning
almost a century and uncovering the truth behind some familiar and less
familiar faces, this collection will offer new information to readers
already interested in Pre-Raphaelite art and open the doors on an
enchanting and revolutionary band of women who are unlikely and
compelling role models. Artists, sculptors, inventors, models, wives,
sisters and muses, all provide inspiration for ground-breakers and
trouble-makers today.
