Daily Rituals - Women at Work offers fascinating insight into the daily obstacles and rituals of some of the world’s best known women artists – painters, composers, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers, and performers. We see how these brilliant minds get to work, the choices they have to make: rebuffing convention, stealing (or secreting away) time from the pull of husbands, wives, children, obligations, in order to create their creations.
With chapters titled ‘Oysters and Champagne’, ‘Pure Neglect’ and ‘Resignation and Relief, we view the daily rituals that made these remarkable women remarkable! From Coco Chanel who went to the office at midday, walking through a mist of Chanel No.5 at the doorway to Barbara Hepworth who worked outside every day whilst managing four children and a household, Daily Rituals is a treasure trove of entertaining anecdotes and inspiration.
