A gallery of leading ladies

Drawn from great plays and novels, the women shown in this gallery were notable and complex. Ultimately the gallery will celebrate a dozen women characters from works by Ibsen, Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, Williams and others along with outstanding artists, dancers and thinkers. The portraits are meant to provoke, intrigue and delight the viewer, believing that a good photo is worth thousands of words.

The next three women joining the gallery are Georgia O'Keeffe, Isadora Duncan and Colette.
