Marion, the Story of an Artist's Model, by Onoto Watanna (Winnied Eaton), Illus. by Henry Hutt, 1916 HB First Edition

SYNOPSIS:  This novel follows "half-foreign" Marion Ascough, a character based on the author's own sister, while never identifying her "foreignness." Escaping unrelenting racial discrimination her family endures in Quebec, Marion follows her dream of being an artist by moving to NY, where she becomes "Canadian" instead of ethnic, a more palatable foreignness. Having successfully stripped herself of her ethnicity, Marion continues to experience discrimination & objectification as a woman, failing as an artist & becoming an artist's model.
