"This book examines collecting around the world and how women have participated in and formed collections globally. The edited volume builds on recent research and offers a wider lens through which to examine women's collecting histories. Spanning from the seventeenth century to the twenty-first (although not organized chronologically) the research herein extends beyond European geographies and studies to consider how artificiallia and naturallia were collected, transported, exchanged, and/or displayed beyond Europe. Some authors focus mainly on what was collected, while others consider taxonomies, markets and display. This book amplifies women's voices, and positions their collecting practices in relation to distinct cultures, customs, and beliefs as well as exposing the challenges women faced when carving a place for themselves within global networks. This study will be of interest to scholars working in art history, collections and collecting, women's studies, material and visual cultures, Indigenous studies, textile histories, global studies, scientific history, social and cultural histories"--

The Hroswitha Club was a group of women book collectors who met from 1944-2004 in the Eastern United States. This text makes their history accessible, focusing on how members shared knowledge and expertise, providing a space for legitimacy and self-growth in a period where women's access to formal education and academic institutions was limited.

Florence Ayscough -- poet, translator, Sinologist, Shanghailander, "sensual realist", avid collector, pioneering photographer and early feminist champion of women's rights in China. Ayscough's modernist translations of the classical poets still command respect, her ethnographic studies of the lives of Chinese women still engender feminist critiques over three quarters of a century later and her collections of Chinese ceramics and objets now form an important part of several American museums' Asian art collections. Raised in Shanghai in an archetypal family in the late nineteenth century, Ayscough was to become anything but a typical foreigner in China. Encouraged by the New England poet Amy Lowell, she became a much sought-after translator in the early years of the new century, not least for her radical interpretations of the Tang dynasty poet Tu Fu published by the renowned literary critic Harriet Monroe. She later moved on to record China and particularly Chinese women using the new technology of photography, turn the Royal Asiatic Society's Shanghai library into the best on the China Coast and build several impressive collections featuring jars from the Dowager Empress Ci Xi, Ming and Qing ceramics. By the time of her death, Florence Ayscough left a legacy of collecting and scholarship unrivalled by any other foreign woman in China before or since. In this biography, Lindsay Shen recovers Ayscough for posterity and returns her to us as a woman of amazing intellectual vibrancy and strength.

Y a-t-il une manière féminine de collectionner? Une collection d'art peut-elle avoir un genre? Cet ouvrage présente la première synthèse historique consacrée aux femmes collectionneuses d'art et mécènes en Occident depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. Alternant avec ces mises au point, de multiples portraits singuliers retracent l'itinéraire biographique et esthétique des collectionneuses les plus remarquables : Nélie Jacquemart, Hélène Kröller-Müller, Helena Rubinstein, Marie-laure de Noailles, Peggy Guggenheim ou encore, plus près de nous, Ingvild Goetz ou Dominique de Ménil, en sont quelques exemples. 0Cette galerie de portraits montre l'extrême diversité des personnalités et des motivations.0.
