The Lioness of Boston

By Emily Franklin

A portrait of Isabella Stewart Gardner, a daring visionary who created an inimitable legacy in American art and transformed the city of Boston itself. By the time she opened her Italian palazzo-style home as a museum in 1903 to display her collection of old masters, antiques, and objects d'art, she was already well-known for scandalizing Boston's polite society. It is a portrait of what society expected of a woman's life.
