In the late 1920s, conservative policies were the norm among traditional museums--that is, until three progressive patrons of the arts decided to establish an institution devoted exclusively to modern art. When The Museum of Modern Art was founded in 1929, its first director, Alfred H. Barr, Jr., dedicated it to helping people understand and enjoy the new visual arts of the time, his hope was that this new institution would offer New York " perhaps the greatest museum of modern art in the world." The public responded with enthusiasm--and has continued to do so over the history of the Museum

Originally published in 1871, Pink and White Tyranny is, seemingly, a light, comic story about a frivolous young girl who marries for money. However, as with most of Beecher Stowe’s writings, things are not what they appear on the surface. This "society novel," instead, is a critique of the nineteenth-century’s dominant view that women should use their femininity to gain power. Reflective of Stowe’s progressive moral and domestic views, the novel is a refreshing work of social satire that showcases Stowe’s comic abilities as well as her progressive views.
