"Painting Ghosts: Australian Women Artists in Wartime" shines a light on the under-recognised contributions of Australian women artists during wartime. Catherine Speck examines artworks created during both World Wars, revealing the perspectives of women on the home front and abroad.
Discover the compelling works of artists such as Iso Rae, Grace Cossington Smith, Nora Heysen and Stella Bowen, and Sybil Craig, whose art captures the experiences of women in voluntary work, the women's services, and industrial roles.
Through these paintings, letters, and popular imagery, the book dispels myths surrounding women's roles in war, offering fresh insights into patriotism, citizenship, and gender dynamics, while providing a unique record of Australian women's wartime experiences.
