ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKING IN: Portraits of Misfits
A look at individuals standing on the margins of the greater society: portraits of women passionately involved in the French Revolution and paying dearly for it, well-born and educated Victorian governesses, great courtesans of the Parisian Belle Epoque, American expatriates in Paris of the the 1920s, European immigrants in small-town Canada in the 1950s.
