Summary

1. "This biography details the life of Sara Tyson Hallowell, who challenged nineteenth-century expectations about the proper place of well-born women and became the first important female curator and art advisor in America. It is the story of her triumphs and disappointments, as she sought to create a career in a professional arena previously occupied only by men. It is a narrative that speaks to the role of talent and perseverance, as well as chance and accident, in the pursuit of artistic goals"--
