Artist and Lycée Français faculty member Mireille Miller developed the plan for Women Leading the Way, her painting series, after realizing that the long roster of women who had made important contributions to our world was largely omitted from the public mind. Many significant women were either under-recognized or, in some cases, completely unknown in spite of their notable achievements. Her determination to contribute a work of art, which would help correct the historical record, led her to hundreds of hours of preparatory research and investigation.
