 Mi Lee
Through her work at the Dun Emer Press and later the Cuala Press, Elizabeth was able to make a lasting and valuable contribution to Ireland, to the women’s movement, and to the craft of printing itself.
In 1938, when the Cuala Press was in the most desperate financial straits and looking for a potential wealthy backer to help it survive, several of Elizabeth’s wealthier and well-connected friends suggest that she contact R. Hull, an affluent Englishman.
The establishment of the Cuala Press was a considerable achievement, especially for a woman at that time, and in the beginning of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Yeats and the Cuala Press were a kind of anomaly in the printing industry.

Each press started as a small group of talented artisans--joined by not only a love of reading, but by a love for the aesthetics of reading.
They established co-operative enterprises in which their individual talents would contribute equally to the final product, and in which quality, not quantity, was the goal.
While William Morris's admiration of medieval aesthetics and his ideas about the co-operative craftsmen of the Middle Ages brought the fine print press back from the brink of extinction in the late nineteenth century, this exhibition demonstrates that the conception of a beautiful book keeps pace with its contemporary cultural milieu.
