　　“I would almost rather see you dead.” Bobert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family racked among(擠身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social(社會(huì)各界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.

Many Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance(堅(jiān)持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
