At the time Mary lived, people frowned on girls from wealthy families having a career. Her parents did not want her living the odd life they thought artists lived. Few art schools even accepted girls and women as students. And the art world held one idea of what painting should be but Mary had a different idea. Mary did not give in to these prejudices. After much travel, study, and hard work, she won over her parents and the critics. Today Mary Cassatts impressionist paintings hang in the best museums and collections throughout the world.
