Visionary American women stood at the forefront of many of the artistic and literary movements of the 20th century. Creative artists and writers such at Gertrude Stein, Mabel Dodge Luhan and Katherine Dunham fueled and promoted works by women in their efforts to make a new modern voice. This catalogue for the 2003 exhibition at Yale University's Beinecke Library explores the salons and the triumphs of many of the most important female artists of the past century.
