Reviews"One of the brightest facets of this book, as a work of documentation on the nineteenth century, is how thoroughly Carr has delved into archives and libraries to bring to light the life and world of this dynamic woman of the Gilded Age. [...] With an admirable investment in facts and details that can only be woven seamlessly together by the most indefatigable of researchers, Carr stitches into a structure of annual exhibitions the many diverse activities, interests, and friendships which Sara Hallowell pursued throughout her long and dynamic life, creating a vivid picture of a true pioneer in the curatorial field." - Taylor L. Poulin, Woman's Art Journal
