New York-born Alice Morgan Wright was a sculptor, writer, suffragist, and early adopter of Cubism and Futurism. Living at the Girls’ Art Club in Paris, she not only exhibited in major Salons but also turned the studio into a hub of feminist activism—inviting Emmeline Pankhurst to speak and joining the militant suffrage movement in London. Throughout her adult life, Wright pursued the twin paths of sculptor and political activist.
