Descripción

An original 5" x 7" publicity photograph of Anita Pollitzer, Chairman of the New York City Committee, National Woman's Party and the newly elected National Chairman of the National Woman's Party. Pollitzer, a Charleston-born Jew, was an active suffragette who was instrumental in the passage of the 19th Amendment. She served as NWP Chairman from 1945-49. She also "discovered" Georgia O'Keefe in 1915 by giving some charcoal drawings O'Keefe had sent her to Alfred Stieglitz at his 291 Gallery in NYC. Stieglitz exhibited 10 of her paintings in early 1916 and later married O'Keefe. Pollitzer and O'Keefe remained friends for the duration of their lives and late in her life Pollitzer wrote A Woman on Paper: Georgia O'Keefe, which included letters between the two, and was published posthumously in 1988 (Wikipedia).
