Meet the Women of “The Gift”
One of Emma Amos’s priorities for The Gift was that it would grant her friends increased recognition and offer role models to future generations. In a proposal that she drafted for a publication based on The Gift, Amos noted her plan to include brief illustrated biographies of each sitter. Carrying this plan forward, we invite you to click on each portrait from The Gift and explore the lives and accomplishments of all 48 sitters in this digital resource.
The biographies featured in this resource are published in The Gift: Emma Amos with Friends exhibition catalogue. Would you like to learn more? Purchase a copy on the museum store website.
