Over the centuries until quite recently great women artists had been ignored, forgotten, or somehow denied; they had been largely left out of museums and histories of art. Along came Wilhelmina Cole Holladay, who boldly decided to rectify this oversight by founding a museum in 1987 in a landmark building three blocks from the White House. This book, written by Mrs. Holladay, details the conception and first 20 years of NMWA’s history, paying homage to those remarkable individuals who helped cultivate the museum. Hardcover, 240 pages.
