van Rensselaer, Mariana Griswold

Wiki: Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer

Her work is important as the almost perfect expression of a cultural breadth, a cultivated tolerance, and an artistic sensitivity which, united, were characteristic of the finest flowering of nineteenth-century American life. BRC

She wrote a pamphlet in 1894 vigorously opposed to woman's suffrage!
