On View
Not on viewMay Wilson Preston attended the Art Students League in New York from 1892 through 1897 but left when, as a woman, she was not allowed to attend life drawing classes, an experience that led to her activity in the struggle for women's rights. An illustrator for many major magazines, she was one of the few early female associate members of the Society of Illustrators in New York. Women were not admitted to full membership until the 1920s.
