From the magnificent gardens created by Vita Sackville-West at Sissinghurst to a striking self-portrait by Angelica Kauffman; from elegant, mass-produced ceramics by Susie Cooper, to a model of a Palmyran temple by ladyâ?Ts maid Betty Ratcliffe â?" this beautifully illustrated book takes a closer look at the women whose creativity has shaped the National Trustâ?Ts collections and, often, the experience of visitors to its places.

The selection features both talented amateur artists and professionals who have shaped the art-historical canon (such as Eileen Agar, A%lisabeth VigeI?e le Brun, Rosalba Carriera and Barbara Hepworth), focussing on their unique contributions and achievements.
