Drawn principally from primary sources, this book presents important new research which examines the contributions of Tudor women in the formation, distribution and popularization of various artistic disciplines. Susan James highlights the pre-eminence of women in the art world of sixteenth-century England, examining not only their role in the creation and commission of art, but also the surprising and unexpected ways in which they exploited it, across all social classes.
