Clara and Mr. Tiffany

Most people know that Louis Comfort Tiffany took credit for the stunning stained glass windows, mosaics, and decorative objects that his Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company that he produced in turn-of-the-century New York.

But in this story you find out that many of his signature pieces were designed and produced by a group of skilled female artisans known as the Tiffany Girls.

Their leader was Clara Driscoll, a forward-thinking and artistically ambitious woman who worked at the studio for more than two decades.
I am highly recommending this book!
