Animal sculptor Grace Mott Johnson was born in New York City in 1882. She became noted for her artistic talents, but also was a "feminist, civil rights activist and utterly independent spirit". (Niederman, 153). She insisted on being called by the single name of Johnson.
Her mother died, when Johnson was age two, and she was raised on a Yonkers farm by her father, a congregational minister who fell out with his congregation and withdrew to an isolated, independent life style. Johnso (showing 500 of 4426 characters). |
