Over the course of the nineteenth century, women in Britain participated in diverse and prolific forms of artistic labour. How women faced the pragmatics of their own creative labour as they pursued vocations, trades and professions in the domestic handicraft movements, music, design, commercial illustration, china painting, and authorship reveals the different ideological positions surrounding the transition of women from industrious amateurism to professional artistry.
