In Radical Women, Jessica Dismorr and the female artists she collaborated and showed with, some well-known and some less well-known, tell a unique tale of British modernism. Jessica Dismorr (1885–1939)'s oeuvre undoubtedly includes some of twentieth-century British art's most exciting moments, from Rhythm in the early 1910s through Vorticism, towards post–World War II modernist figuration, and finally into the abstraction she shared with radical political artists groups in the 1930s. Her work has been described as encapsulating "the stylistic developments of twentieth-century British Art." Dismorr had the honor of working and exhibiting alongside some of the most exciting female artists of the time, including Barbara Hepworth and Winifred Nicholson, to less well-known individuals like Dorothy Shakespear, Anne Estelle Rice, and Helen Saunders. This period of intense creativity also included literary and design achievements. This book offers a new perspective on a pioneering era and the role women played within it by illuminating a web of fascinating connections for the first time.
