NYPL b12151447.<br/><br/>The most celebrated dancer of her time "Pavlova's technique was so perfect that it concealed technique. her arabesque and pas de bourrée have rarely been equaled and. her line was always impeccable. As an interpretive artist Pavlova probably even today remains unsurpassed. She was supreme in roles requiring feminine coquetry and light comedy; she excelled in lyrical and poetic roles in which her fluid expressive arms and hands were remarkable; and she could be deeply moving in dramatic and tragic roles such as Nikia and Giselle. What made her performances unique however was not so much her technical mastery or even her talent at characterization; it was the emotion she poured into her performances her incomparable stage presence - in short the power of her personality." The International Encyclopedia of Dance Vol. 5 pp. 125-126. <br/><br/>The Gavotte Pavlova was choreographed to music from Paul Lincke's operetta Lysistrata arranged by Ivan Clustine. <br/><br/>"Troy Kinney was most notable for his works portraying dance performers fanciful subjects and classically styled nudes.

The most popular botany textbook of its time and the first book by education activists Phelps the present is surprisingly scarce in trade.

"This experience illustrated the disparity between education available for men and for women and Almira spent the rest of her life fighting for more educational opportunities for females" History of American Women. Joining forces with her sister Emma Willard the founder of the Troy Female Seminary in New York Phelps began to teach rigorous humanities and science courses in addition to lecturing publicly on behalf of women's rights for equal education. Phelps established herself as a frontrunner in the field publishing ten books on the education of women. The present work is the first of these and it brought her into dialogue with earlier British women citizen-scientists such as Priscilla Wakefield and Jane Marcet. Like her predecessors Phelps wanted to make the study of botanical science accessible to readers bringing them into contact with the field's vocabularies and practices and encouraging them to find opportunities for study in the areas around them. Yet her book pushed this movement to the next level as it was designed specifically for the use of advanced schools. To this end it is designed for classroom instruction includes a note To Teachers and provides at rear sections on Vocabulary Analysis and a functional index. Ultimately Familiar Lectures on Botany made it possible for instructors -- especially women -- to improve the method and practice of their lessons by referring to Phelps' own tried and true methods. And it made botanical education of a more rigorous kind available to a new generation of students.<br/><br/>Ogilvie's Women in Science 147. History of American Women. H. and F.J.
