WOMEN AT WORK
Presented by Alice Foster (UK)
WOMEN AT WORK
What occupies a woman’s day? From depictions of farm workers and hearth keepers in the Middle Ages, to picture restorers in the 21st century, Alice’s lecture explores the responsibilities of women at work. Women participated in brewing, baking and textile weaving. During World War 2 they made armaments; were researchers in science and the arts and eventually were allowed to become priests. All these jobs were depicted, sometimes by famous artists such as Edouard Manet and Laura Knight, sometimes by less well-known artists. Some women became artists themselves, facing challenges of work in what was considered a man’s world.
