'I am walking my chosen highway. I know the destination.' 'Abdu'l-Bahá Sara, Lady Blomfield began to take written notes of the 'spoken chronicles' of the ladies of the Family of Bahá'ú'lláh during her first visit to Haifa in 1922.
The life of Sara Louisa, Lady Blomfield, spanned one of the most exciting periods in human history - the last half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries and the social and political developments that defined the era: the suffragist movement, the rise of eastern religious thought, Theosophy and spiritualism in Europe, the First World War, modernization. She experienced the poverty of rural Ireland and the ceremony of the royal court in London. Beyond this, Lady Blomfield was one of the most socially distinguished adherents of the Baha'i Faith, moving in social circles that included royalty, members of government and the celebrities of the day. She was the gracious and generous hostess to 'Abdu'l Baha on His historic visits to London in 1911 and 1912-13 and was a chronicler of Baha'i history in her book The Chosen Highway."
This comprehensive volume presents the biographies of 1,000 women who were active in the British decorative arts over the last few centuries. Some of these women are known today, some are not, yet all made valuable contributions in areas such as stained glass, metalwork, pottery, woodcarving, illustration, bookbinding and decoration, sculpture, decorative embroidery, decorative jewellery, and illumination. This volume is the largest of its kind to document the lives and careers of some British women artists and decorative artists, published in Britain to date, and helps to shed new light on a still-neglected area of British art and design history. It includes entries for well-known artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Mary Lowndes, and Alice Woodward, alongside influential but forgotten women such as Mary Symonds, Amy Singer, and Catherine Donaldson. Researched and written by Dr. Sara Gray over a period of eight years, this book is her third to be published. She completed a B.A. Hons Degree in 1992 at Bolton University, followed by a Ph.D. in 2002 awarded by Manchester University. She has a particular interest in the work of British women artists and in regional arts and crafts.
