ABSTRACT

After Frances O’Brien interviewed Georgia O’Keeffe in 1927, she made the following observations:

If Georgia O’Keeffe has any passion other than her work it is her interest and faith in her own sex. You must not, if you value being in her good graces, call her “Mrs. Stieglitz.” She believes ardently in woman as an individual—an individual not merely with the rights and privileges of man but, what is to her more important, with the same responsibilities. And chief among these is the responsibility of self-realization. O’Keeffe is the epitomization of this faith. 1
