"Philadelphia, 1901.The dawn of a new century & three brilliant women, all artists –Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green & Violet Oakley–make a courageous pact to create for themselves every single advantage which men of the time took entirely for granted. #RedRoseGirls

i 💙this story (below,part of larger thread). I’ve had the great honor of looking at these beauties (murals) in the Harrisburg State Capitol, in Pennsylvania USA, and performed under them twice! It will mean even more next time I sing under them. Thx for sharing the #RedRoseGirls

Violet, a trailblazer in mural decoration & stained glass, fields exclusively practiced by men, painted a series of 43 murals in the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building. Depicting the story of William Penn, her images continue to define the state's origin myth.#RedRoseGirls

Not least the idea that it is possible, however powerless & small you may feel, however crushed by the grinding weight of inequality, to create tangible, astonishing change through friendship, solidarity & unshakeable support. Lift up others & you yourself flourish. #RedRoseGirls

But their demise was organic, gentle & friendly - their experiment had been a spectacular success, the vast achievements of the “Red Rose Girls” ranging far beyond their art and city. They set something tumbling into motion that we can still draw heavily from today. #RedRoseGirls

Eventually, Elizabeth fell passionately in love with Huger Elliott, a professor of architecture, and her marriage led to the end of the #RedRoseGirls - "Cupid breaks up trio of artists" blazed the headlines in delight.

A fourth woman, the gifted & much loved Henrietta Cozens, joined them to do the housework, gardening, cooking, domestic maintenance & management. Together, they lifted & encouraged & tended each other - achieving remarkable success & influence.#RedRoseGirls

Named by their beloved Pyle as the #RedRoseGirls, from 1901 to 1906, they rented a picturesque former inn of the same name in Villanova, an idyllic suburb on Philadelphia's Main Line. Here, they lived and worked and supported each other in a radical new model of family life.

They had met as students of the famous illustrator & progressive Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute. All immensely talented, they decided to fight hard against the fate of most women artists whose careers were inevitably upended by marriage & domesticity. #RedRoseGirls
