The Red Rose Girls

While we may not know their names, The Red Rose Girls were celebrated in the early 20th century as they created iconic images of the American girl and woman. Anything but conventional themselves, Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley enjoyed extraordinary career success, forging new paths for women artists during the Golden Age of Illustration.

Weaving the interests and aesthetics of the cultured elite of Philadelphia’s Main Line with ordinary households across the country, the Red Rose Girls created art of the moment that continues to illustrate our world today.

Join American art historian Rena Tobey to learn about these bold New Women and revel in the glories of their art.
