A MONA Moment

Museum of Nebraska Art
Nebraska's women artists between 1880 and 1950 left a huge legacy. Twelve of the most influential were: Sarah
Wool Moore, Cora Parker, Sarah Sewell Hayden, Elizabeth Tuttle Holsman, Alice Righter Edmiston, Angel DeCora
Dietz, Elizabeth Honor Dolan, Marion Canfield Smith, Alice Cleaver, Gladys M. Lux, Katherine "Kady" Burnap
Faulkner, and Myra Biggerstaff. The Fall 2007 issue of Nebraska History in an article by Sharon L. Kennedy
discusses the contributions these women made to Nebraska art and reproduces some of their most noted works.
