	Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman
		The challenges that Mary Cassatt faced and overcame as an artist, an American, and a woman thriving in the era of the French Impressionist movement have given her the experience, success, and power to be one of the greatest French Impressionist female artists of all time.
		Besides the fact that Cassatt's artistic style and approach is not idealized, it is also not erotic, which was typical of the male artists of her era who portray women as the object of men's sexual desires.
		Also we must remember that as much as Cassatt may have secretly yearned for the pleasures of motherhood, Cassatt was a painter, and wildly successful at her craft at a time when women were not supposed to enjoy the pleasures of independence and power.
