Helene Schjerfbeck: 1862-1946 | 
I found a book about Finnish female artist Helene (Helena) Schjerfbeck at the library. It feels extraordinary that in the 19th c. she was able to travel freely, receive grants to study in Paris, join like-minded painters, win medals. Surely, she should be better-known.
The book centers on her portraits, which I enjoyed, but I would have liked it better if some of her other work had been included...
