For she herself waged a stiffer fight for women than American women have tasted for a long time. At 18 she wanted to enter the Fine Arts Academy. It was preposterous, at that time, for a girl to attend Public classes. But her father, an influential Senator and eminent scientist, arranged it. She was the only girl student among 6,000 males. For the sake of conventions she was chaperoned to classes every day by a chambermaid. Later, in an art competition to which she submitted a model under &@ masculine pseudonym, she won the award but was denied it, because she was @ woman! Fortunately Mme. Mengarini’s fam- ily approved of her career. In fact, 40 years ago her mother was a mild seandal because she had insisted on an education. The University of Rome had refused her—because she was @ woman. But through a com- promise she had been permitted to attend biology classes by concealing herself behind a curtain, so the male students should not be aware of her presence!
