Thank you, Joann — Dorothea was a true trailblazer, and such a modest and humble person who knew the meaning of dedication and hard work. The author of this post, Jasmin Darznik, wrote a novel on the Dorothea at the beginning of her career — The Bohemians — which you’ll see referenced in this post. It’s a really good read; or, in my case, I heard it on audiobook, so it’s a good listen! There’s also a documentary about her called “Grab a Hunk of Lightening” which is excellent.
