What is Lucille Sinclair Douglass : a life of art and adventure about?

"Like a small but growing number of women at the turn of the twentieth century, Lucille Sinclair Douglass rejected the tradition roles of wife, mother, and homemaker and chose a different path. How she went from a lonely childhood in rural Alabama to become one of America's foremost women painter-etchers is a story of dedication, confidence, and repeated self-invention. From war-torn China to the fabled 'lost city' of Angkor Wat, she chased adventure and captured her experiences in pastels and etchings. Along with her popular lectures, her work as an artist made her a minor celebrity in America, and her etchings of Chinese and southeast Asian subjects entered major collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and the Library of Congress. Less than a decade after her death in 1935, she was largely forgotten, a victim of changing tastes and of a male-dominated canon. Now, as scholars rediscover the contributions and careers of women artists in the past, Douglass's work and her story, as revealed here for the first time in full, are finding a new audience and the appreciation she so richly deserves."-- From publisher's descri
