From the Editor Today’s women, featured in this issue of Restoration Conversations, have done their share of searching, and that may well be the reason they find themselves pictured between these pages. Violinist Ruth Palmer and scholar Claudia Tobin seek – through their research and performance – to bring female composers and poetic-minded ‘freedom fighters’ to the fore. In her new book Women at Work from 1900 to Now, author and curator Flavia Frigeri leaves no field of female achievement unexplored. Conservator Eugenia Di Rocco strives to safeguard the Wulz sisters’ iconic images from Alinari Foundation for Photography – because photography can vanish, if not painstakingly protected, and English painter Cecily Brown seeks to translate the silent tribulations of a third-century saint into a language called ‘colour’ at Florence’s Museo Novecento. These women, and others found herein, perform, safeguard, uncover and share the achievements of their historic counterparts: Ethyl Smyth’s The March of Women, Lavinia Fontana’s Queen of Sheba, Maryla Lednicka-Szczytt’s Black Angel. Their stories are more relevant than ever. So, there’s reason to celebrate in the new year, not least because Artemisia’s censored allegory has her legs back (digitally) and is using them to get to her Genoa show come 2024!
