Title: Representing female artistic labour, 1848-1890
Description: Patricia Zakreski uses the structure of the gender borderland to describe women's relationship to work. She shows how the notion of work for women was not only refined by reference to the domestic ideal, but also came to be seen as an experience with intrinsic refining qualities in itself.
