More of Mason Currey's irresistible Daily Rituals, this time exploring the daily obstacles and rituals of women who are artists - painters, composers, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers, and performers. We see how these brilliant minds get to work, the choices they have to make: rebuffing convention, stealing (or secreting away) time from the pull of husbands, wives, children, and obligations in order to create their creations.
From those who are the masters of their craft (Eudora Welty, Lynn Fontanne, Penelope Fitzgerald, Marie Curie) to those who were recognized in a burst of acclaim (Lorraine Hansberry, Zadie Smith)...from Clara Schumann and Shirley Jackson, carving out small amounts of time from family life, to Isadora Duncan and Agnes Martin, rejecting the demands of domesticity, Currey shows us the large and small (and abiding) choices these women made - and continue to make - for their art:Â Isak Dinesen, "I promised the Devil my soul, and in return he promised me that everything I was going to experience would be turned into tales," Dinesen subsisting on oysters and champagne but also amphetamines, which gave her the overdrive she required...and the rituals (daily and otherwise) that guide these artists: Isabel Allende starting a new book only on January 8...Hilary Mantel taking a shower to combat writers' block ("I am the cleanest person I know")...Tallulah Bankhead coping with her three phobias (hating to go to bed, hating to get up, and hating to be alone), which, could she "mute them", would make her life "as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water"...Lillian Hellman chain-smoking three packs of cigarettes and drinking 20 cups of coffee a day - and, after milking the cow and cleaning the barn, writing out of "elation, depression, hope" ("That is the exact order. Hope sets in toward nightfall. That's when you tell yourself that you're going to be better the next time, so help you God.")...Diane Arbus, doing what "gnaws at" her...Colette, locked in her writing room by her first husband, Henry Gauthier-Villars (nom de plume: Willy) and not being "let out" until completing her daily quota (she wrote five pages a day and threw away the fifth). Colette later said, "A prison is one of the best workshops"...Jessye Norman disdaining routines or rituals of any kind, seeing them as "a crutch"...and Octavia Butler writing every day no matter what ("screw inspiration"). Â Â Â
Germaine de Staël, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot, Edith Wharton, Virginia Woolf, Edna Ferber, Doris Lessing, Pina Bausch, Frida Kahlo, Marguerite Duras, Helen Frankenthaler, Patti Smith, and 131 more - on their daily routines, superstitions, fears, eating (and drinking) habits, and other finely (and not so finely) calibrated rituals that help summon up willpower and self-discipline, keeping themselves afloat with optimism and fight as they create (and avoid creating) their creations.

I loved Daily Rituals and gift it often. WOMEN AT WORK did not disappoint. In fact, I think it's even more fascinating than the first book--the author does an excellent job of analyzing the tightrope walk many women have to perform to be able to work and create under a culture that historically has wanted to hem them in at home. I devoured this book and learned so much. Highly recommend.
I received my copy two days ago and haven't put it down since! Each mini-profile is an enlightening look at the dedication and determination behind the creative process. The struggle is real! As an artist who has always had to have a day job I find it endlessly inspiring to read about how others managed to pull it off. The fact that this book only profiles female artists, writers, composers, dancers, etc. makes it all the sweeter.
The author does a great job at covering different women in so many different industries, and as a young professional female, it is a very inspiring read!
Mason Currey's first book was fascinating, but this is even more so. The fact that this book isn't only about "the greats" whose routines were handed to them, and who were supported by assistants and wives and daughters, makes these portraits of women artists more relatable. Quite a few of them have to struggle against adversity, and this is the case for many creative people nowadays. The common theme of fitting in their creative work in between everything else is inspiring. I definitely recommend this book.
