For those who belong to The Portrait Society of America, check out my article on Berthe Morisot in the 2010-4th quarter Art of the Portrait Journal. I find her story inspiring, as she managed to combine a husband, a child and a career in a time when professional activities by an upper class woman were frowned upon, to say the least. Her mentor, Manet, once said it was a shame she was a woman and her contemporaries called her the "quintessential" impressionist.
