Daily Rituals. Women at Work. How Great Women Make Time, Find Inspiration, and Get to Work: Mason Currey

From Vanessa Bell and Charlotte Bronte to Nina Simone and Jane Campion, here are over one hundred and forty female writers, painters, musicians, sculptors, poets, choreographers, and filmmakers on how they create and work.

Barbara Hepworth sculpted outdoors and Janet Frame wore earmuffs as she worked to block out noise. Kate Chopin wrote with her six children 'swarming around her' whereas the artist Rosa Bonheur filled her bedroom with the sixty birds that inspired her work. Louisa May Alcott wrote so vigorously - skipping sleep and meals - that she had to learn to write with her left hand to give her cramped right hand a break.

From Isak Dinesen subsisting on oysters, champagne and amphetamines, to Isabel Allende's insistence that she begins each new book on 8 January, here are the working routines of over 140 brilliant female painters, composers, sculptors, writers, filmmakers and performers.

Filled with details of the large and small choices these women made, Mason Currey's Daily Rituals Women at Work is a source of fascination and inspiration.

От Ванессы Белл и Шарлотты Бронте до Нины Симон и Джейн Кэмпион – в этой удивительной книге описаны рабочие будни более 140 выдающихся женщин-художниц, композиторов, скульпторов, хореографов, поэтов, писателей и режиссеров. Барбара Хепуорт создавала скульптуры на открытом воздухе, а Дженет Фрейм работала в наушниках. Кейт Шопен писала в окружении шести детей, «роящимися вокруг нее», а Луиза Мэй Олкотт писала так энергично, пропуская сон и приемы пищи, что ей пришлось научиться писать и левой рукой, чтобы дать отдохнуть своей затекшей правой. Книга Мейсона Карри “Daily Rituals. Women at Work. How Great Women Make Time, Find Inspiration, and Get to Work” заинтересует тех читателей, кто хотел бы взглянуть на будни великих женщин. Книга на английском языке.
