The barriers Nelly and her sister students faced were entrenched everywhere, and this is the first detailed account I’ve seen of women’s long struggle to bring them down. Thanks, Sarah.
Sarah- For some reason this is the part that stood out to me the most: “For the next twenty years until her death from Spanish flu, contracted while nursing war refugees in Tuscany, she built her reputation as a book illustrator, working at a phenomenal pace, travelling and drawing all over Europe.” Maybe because it shows just the breadth of her vast work? Thanks for sharing this.
