Overcoming All Obstacles: The Women of the Académie Julian is the first book to examine late nineteenth-century Paris's most famous training ground for the leading women artists of the period. The Académie Julian was founded in Paris in 1868, initially to prepare students for entry to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the nineteenth-century's preeminent art school. Because women could not study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts until 1897, Julian itself became an international equivalent for many of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century's most important women artists.

Founded primarily on town, church, and charter records, Wheeler's History of Stonington is a harmonious blend of history and genealogy. The work is divided into two main sections: the "History of Stonington" and the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Commencing with a survey of the founders and early settlements, with a glance at the original town patents, the first section deals at length with the history of Stonington in the various wars and includes lists of officers and men developed from the most reliable sources. The genealogies in the second section generally begin with the immigrant ancestor and continue through six or seven generations in the direct line of descent, providing a progression of names and dates of birth and marriage, with incidental references to places of residence, land holdings, and probated estates. Even though the genealogies are arranged in alphabetical order by family name and therefore are easily accessible, all names cited therein are included in the index, which has more than 12,000 entries.
"To qualify for inclusion in this work a family had to have been in Beekman or Pawling by the time of the first census in 1790 [with] a few exceptions."--Intro. v. 2.

"Sarah Purser (1848-1943) first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1872. Over the next seventy years she was to play an important role in Irish cultural life, her studio at Mespil House, Dublin, becoming a salon frequented by writers, politicians, visionaries and revolutionaries." "In 1891 she was elected an Honorary Academician by the RHA, then exclusively male in membership, and later became the first woman full member. Her name was synonymous with An Tur Gloine, founded in 1903 to produce stain glass work of high merit, and she helped to develop both the Municipal and National Galleries." "In this book Dr O'Grady surveys Sarah Purser's life and provides a catalogue of her work running to 554 entries."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
