Comment: If the first hook is preferred, could use tomb image or image of her working; if the second hook is used, then could show the frontispiece of book with color illustration of couch (all are on her page)

Engaging detailed life of an influential woman, thank you! No copyvio obvious. I prefer the first hook by far, the licensed image is an excellent companion. - Minor in the article: you speak about her aunt, then "she", which I thought was the aunt ;) - Her married name comes up before the wedding is mentioned. The final short paragraphs might be combined. Squeezing text between two images is normally not a good idea. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:33, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, I made changes except for the images; they go too far down the page if all on the right. I could remove the dog, but I kinda want to include it, archiving items like the dog was a lot of her work. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, - and I said "normally" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
