Doing a thread of Old LGBT Women artists because I feel like it.
Thelma Woods (1901-1970)
She was a Lesbian sculptor and silverpoint artist. She was this Lesbian Casanova. Accounts have described her as "boyish-looking", standing almost 6 feet tall, and "sexually magnetic" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥵" title="Hot face" aria-label="Emoji: Hot face">
Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908)
She’s apparently the FIRST pro female sculptor. Her work was primarily neoclassical. She also designed machines, pioneering a mechanical process for turning limestone into marble. For 25 years she was romantically involved with Louisa, Lady Ashburton
Nora Houston (1883-1942)
American painter, women& #39;s rights advocate, and suffragist. Working on suffrage movements in Virginia, she used her artistic skills to design signs, pamphlets, and parade floats to help the league raise awareness about women& #39;s suffrage.
Anna Elizabeth Klumpke (1856-1942)
A portrait/genre painter known for her portraits of famous women. She had a romance with Rosa Bonheur that lasted until the painters death. She was named as the sole heir to Bonheur& #39;s estate, and used the money to start an art school for women
