THankyou SO much for these great images! These women are so dear to me! Violet Oakley, Jessie Wilcox Smith and Elizabeth Shippen Green in so many ways really paved the way for women in the illustration field. In some cases having to "swear" not to marry or have children to get an education. Violet Oakley painted some great murals in the Pennsylvania State Capital (close to my home in Amaerica)
The photos I have never seen.
thanks
