Kimberly Francis, Margot Irvine (dir.), Creative Women of the "Lost" Generation : Women in the Arts in the Wake of the Great War

Ce livre examine les femmes créatrices de la "génération perdue", notamment les peintres, sculptrices, cinéastes, autrices, chanteuses, compositrices, danseuses et imprésarios qui ont poursuivi des carrières artistiques dans les années précédant, durant et suivant la première guerre mondiale. Les histoires de ces femmes, ainsi que l'art qu'elles ont créé, commandé, mobilisé en tant que propagande, et interprété, mettent en lumière la nature changeante des normes de genre au cours de cette période. En anglais.
