Edwina Sandys has a huge reputation as artist and feminist too, and has been working for more than forty years in the arenas of sculpture, painting, collage, drawing and printing. This is the first and only collection of these efforts. She also happens to be the granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill and thus has a certain renown just in this regard.
