When night falls, everything is dark. Or is it? The moon shines with a pale light. A car drives along the street, and when its headlights flash, we see two bright dots run by. Is it a cat? Or perhaps a fox? If we stand still for a moment, our eyes will adjust to the darkness. We can see twinkling stars in the sky, and sometimes even the bright belt of stars called the Milky Way. The night contains both light and darkness. Come on a journey and visit the dark forest, the deep ocean and the shadows of the city, and discover everything that's glows, glitters and shines in the night!

A big noise echoes around the world, causing chaos and confusion. What could it be? A strange force from another world? An out-of-tune saxophonist? A meteor crashing into a horn factory? And where does it comes from? EveryoneâEUR(TM)s in for a big surprise when the truth comes out!

Consider for a moment the history of modern art in Britain; you may struggle to land on a narrative that features very many women. On this journey through a fascinating period of social change, artist Carolyn Trant fills in some of the gaps in traditional art histories. Introducing the lives and works of a rich network of neglected women artists, Voyaging Out sets these alongside such renowned presences as Barbara Hepworth, Laura Knight and Winifred Nicholson. In an era of radical activism and great social and political change, women forged new relationships with art and its institutions. Such change was not without its challenges, and with acerbic wit Trant delves into the gendered make-up of the `avant-garde¿, and the tyranny of artistic `isms¿. Virginia Woolf¿s first novel The Voyage Out (1915) has her female heroine strive towards a realization of her sense of self, asking what being a woman might mean. In the decades after women won the vote in Britain, the fortunes of women artists were shaped by war, domesticity, continued oppressions and spirited resistance. Some succeeded in forging creative careers; others were thwarted by the odds stacked against them. Weaving devastating individual stories with playful critique, Voyaging Out reveals this hidden history.

Beautifully illustrated, mostly in colour, the more than 150 drawings - culled from a corpus of some 800 - are discussed in detail.
