The Novel



Cassatt's Mural Was Last Seen at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, Illinois

About the Lost Cassatt

"Although Cassatt's mural, Modern Woman, was derided by critics of the time, their criticisms are testament to the way in which her depiction of women broke boundaries in the late nineteenth century."
—​Hutton, John. "Picking Fruit: Mary Cassatt's Modern Woman and the Woman's Building of 1893." Feminist Studies 20: 2 (1994): 318-48.
