Inspired by British and American women in the arts and crafts movement, and spurred by their thirty-year rivalry with Mary Dignam of the Toronto-based Women's Art Association of Canada, these two created an organization that revived popular interest in traditional handwork done by women, Canadiens, Indigenous people, and new Canadians.
