May Morris was the younger daughter of William and Jane Morris. She was a skilled embroiderer, teaching embroidery and running Morris & Co.'s embroidery department. She became an important figure in the Arts & Crafts movement, and joined her father in actively promoting socialism. Her introductions to the twenty-four volume set of Williams Morris's works published between 1910 and 1915 provided fresh details of Morris's career and family life.
