A Lifelong Sculptor and Suffragette: Alice Morgan Wright (1881 – 1975)

New York-born Alice Morgan Wright was a sculptor, writer, suffragist, and early adopter of Cubism and Futurism. Living at the Girls’ Art Club in Paris, she not only exhibited in major Salons but also turned the studio into a hub of feminist activism—inviting Emmeline Pankhurst to speak and joining the militant suffrage movement in London. Throughout her adult life, Wright pursued the twin paths of sculptor and political activist.More on Alice Morgan Wright: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/alice-morgan-wright-1881-1975The Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.eduFind us elsewhere:Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisGet our newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisFacebook - facebook.com/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHosts: Brunhilde Biebuyck and Marie DoezemaProduction: James Allen, Brunhilde Biebuyck, Marie Doezema, Krista Faurie, Charlotte Force, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.
