This insightful and beautifully illustrated book offers the first
feminist analysis of the phenomenon of women art collectors in
America. Dianne Sachko Macleod brings a surprising paradox to
light, showing that collecting, which provided wealthy women with a
private sense of solace, also liberated them to venture into the
public sphere and make a lasting contribution to the emerging
American culture. Beginning in the antebellum period, continuing
through the Gilded Age, and reaching well into the twentieth
century, Macleod shows how elite women enlisted the objets d'art
and avant-garde paintings in their collections in causes ranging
from the founding of modern museums to the campaign for women's
suffrage.
