The portrayal of women constitutes a core strength of the Library Company’s visual culture collections. Idealized, allegorical  imagery of women representing  nations; portraiture of historic female figures, writers, and thinkers; and caricatures reiterating negative stereotypes represent the wealth of imagery available to researchers of women’s history.
