ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis: “LIVING ON PAPER ...

33 “By the end of the [nineteenth] century, the proliferation of magazines and illustrated books significantly
increased opportunities for women graphic artists.” Wright, Women Graphic Artists, 11. The 1890 United
States census listed almost 11,000 women artists, sculptors, and teachers of art. Swinth, Painting
Professionals, 3.
34 Pollitzer, Woman on Paper, 78. Pollitzer, an ardent suffragist, tended to stress any potentially feminist
elements in O’Keeffe’s background, so it is hard to say how accurate she was in this observation.
