She pains a fascinating portrait of devoted and talented individualls who fostered the arts at a time when Victorian and Edwardian roles for women were circumscribed.\n\nBased on original research she did on the period from 1880 to 1920, Dr. Berry provides a case study (Winnipeg) of a formative period in the history of the West. The women who formed the core of the progressive movement were persons of social conscience, aesthetis sensibility, and feminist inclination. They combined these element into a powerful force for cultural advancement and urbanization.\n\nThis book is a must-read for those interested in the history of women in North America and their role in the visual arts.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1896209556\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1896209556.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Berry, Virginia G.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43298197241917,"sku":"BVV.1896209556.VG","price":74.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/taming-the-frontier","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
