"Using the paintings, prints, and pastels that Cassatt created throughout her career, Mary Cassatt Reflections of Women's Lives explores the solitary, social, public, and intimate worlds inhabited by the women of the artist's family and social circle. It looks back to a more tranquil age celebrating with Cassatt the richness of the realm of women. Quatations from contemporary authors such as Edith Wharton and Henry James add further insight into this domestic world."--Jacket.
