Centenoriion Adelaide Johnson
NAV Get Art Studio Shrine

came the first woman in history to
give a reception in the Capitol.
The former studio, just before
it was sold for taxes in 1889, was
the scene of such despair to Mrs
Johnson that she ordered a NAL
let-swinging man to 60 to work
on a group of her busts of feminist
leaders. Until the last few years
the studio was rented for her by
the Woman's Party. A decade ago
faced with eviction, the sculptress
surveyed her partially mutilated
works of art and stated
I'm beaten woman, but not
a defeated woman"
The old studio cannot be pur-
chased for under $4,000, organ
izers of the campaign believe, but
definite money goal has not been
set as yet. The friends of Mrs
Johnson plan to have the funds
raised also pay for a nurse, dental
work and wheel chair for her.
Mrs. Johnson for two years has
lived with a friend, Mrs. Grace
Meta Keebler. at 1875 c street NE
Although thought to be unwed
by many, the sculptress was mar
ried to a Britisher, who took her
maiden name of johnson for his
surname. This was done, because
tht feminist wanted to prove a
woman needn't take the name OF
a man-just because she marries
