Looking for suggestions re: women portrait aritsts

[Susan Kuban]

I am active with the Portrait Society of Atlanta. We are trying to plan a program for the upcoming year about historical women portrait artists. I would apprecieate any suggestions of not only names of accomplished women portrait artists from the past, but also sources of information about them. We will probably want to put together a slide presentation, along with a narrative, and will need good photos as well as biographical material. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Susan Kuban
